Soon To Be World Famous

Categories
Games

We have a friend who is soon to be World famous.  His name is Guy deBoer (pictured) and he is endeavoring to fulfill his dream to be the first American to win the prestigious around the World Golden Globe, 30,000 mile, solo sail boat race.  

He will embark, single handed, next September from France on this nonstop race.  The race has been described as “One sailor, one boat facing the great oceans of the world”. 

The rules require no outside assistance and entrants can not use technology developed since the initial 1968 race.  Thus, he must navigate his 36 foot boat by the stars without the benefit of a GPS or other modern technology.  

Guy thinks he has the fastest boat and aspires to finish first in 200 lonely days. 

I have been on the boat and done what I can to support Guy and have shared his journey to this point.  Being up close, I have a premonition that he will succeed and once he does, I keep telling him, he will be World famous.  

Dreams can come true. Please join Guy in pursuing his dream!

An incredibly difficult undertaking, unlike any of us have, or will, ever pursue. We wish him the best of luck and clear sailing.

If anyone can achieve this, Guy can! He’s a great guy. Larger than life! We wish him speed and luck and smooth seas!

Amazing commitment and perseverance. It just goes to show you, If there is a will, there is a way. Rooting for Guy as well.

Here's a sailor who in his 70's was building a 3 meter sailboat to circumnavigate the globe solo. https://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/28/sport/sven-yrvind-sail-around-world-smallest-boat I've followed his web site https://www.yrvind.com for the last decade to see if he makes it. I'm rooting for him! Do you think he is finally getting too old?

And I thought running a marathon was cool. This will be iconic. I look forward to this test of endurance and fortitude. It will not be easy but nothing grand is.
