Goodon'er!

What I found amazing was her sleep patterns. In 72 days the longest sleep she had was 17 minutes - mostly it was under 15. She's one tough lady.

Ha ha! She started out in Falmouth - South west England, down through the Atlantic - round the Cape of Good Hope (S.Africa) - across the Southern ocean south of Australia - around Cape Horn and back to Falmouth.

I've been to Falmouth. It's a beautiful place.
