But this man has decided to go home in the greenest way possible: he's sailing from Southampton to Melbourne. He's doing it in a Contessa 26, a small (26 foot long, no standing headroom) British designed and built yacht with a great ocean-going pedigree. He has some romantic notions (which I hope a few rough, wet nights at sea don't knock out of him), a wishlist and a lot of nerve to take on such big oceans alone in a small boat. This is the kind of spirit that made humanity look into the next valley: go on over and support him, and if you don't at least give him some admiration. And warn him about Garmin handheld GPS units that don't know where the buggery they are and their 'customer services' who don't appear to give a damn that they've sold a useless piece of crap.
