Englishwoman Ellen MacArthur has much to
celebrate about,
according
to this AP article, setting the solo around the world sailing mark. She departed from near the southern coast
of England Nov. 28 and followed an approximately 26,000 mile course around the globe. Her final time aboard her
75-foot trimaran put her at 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes and 33 seconds, which bests the previous record by
little over a day.
