Mike Perham has done it !

He has crossed the finish line as the youngest sailing, solo circumnavigator !

What an epic 10 months it has been.

CNN is the only smudge on his great accomplishment

Rubbish reporting by CNN:

Mike set off on his round-the-world trip on November 18, 2008. He has been sailing his yacht, TotallyMoney.com, single-handedly, though a support team has been sailing next to him along the way.

from: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/08/27/perham.youngest.solo.sailor/index.html#soundoff

There was NO support team sailing with him at any point ... none !

Note that corrective feedback on that page has not been posted for hours !

That is an incredible achievement, and should be an inspiration to a lot of people.

I will not pass judgment on this story:
