RXBOT is on a distinguished road
Francis Joyen-New record
57 days 13 hours 34 minutes 6 seconds solo circumnavigation. Beat old record by 14 days. Also it is the second fastest period. Only one crewed boat has a better time.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

What's with the new trend of advertising appearing at the bottom of posts?

Are you guys getting paid for this? Am I mising out on something??
