    Default Jeanne Socrates heads out .... again!

    Jeanne, SHTP racer from 2006, has just left Victoria on her third non-stop circumnavigation attempt. She has gone around twice, but was forced to stop both times. The second time after a 360 at Cape Horn.

    At 69, she is an amazing woman and an amazing singlehander. You can follow her voyage at http://svnereida.com/

    Jeanne called the other night to say she was ready to head out. Her tone was as though she was just going down to the store or something. I asked if she was planning to go the same route again and she said NO - she didn't want to come into those ports like she had to last time!

    She asked that I greet all of you for her.

    Are you saying that she is going the other way around this time?

    No, she meant that she hoped her route wouldn't include any stops this time.
