I had a chance to chat with the Wilsons in Horta when the Nordhavn
Atlantic Rally stopped over in the Azores last summer. They were
waiting for weather for a passage to Newfoundland on their way home
to New England aboard Karma, their Nordhavn 62

As they had circumnavigated once before--under sail in a
Sundeer--completing a second circumnavigation was not that important
to them. They took the boat south as far as Florida, where it now is
for sale. As they started their second voyage in California, they
have not completely closed the circle on a second circumnavigation.

But that is not to take way anything from the Wilsons and the many
sea miles they have put behind them. Rarely, have I met a couple who
seemed to enjoy long-range cruising as much as Marty and especially
Marge.
