Ellen has made a number of epic voyages, but this one tops them all. I have been reading her web site--and looking at the videos on a daily basis. She is one very strong and corageous lady! She has also had a wonderful support team, including weather, techincal and medical personal. To me the most daunting of her problems have been the fatigue and lack of sleep. Hopefully voyagers in power boats circumnavigation will not encounter some of the rough conditions she has. Only 75 miles to go--at 22 knots--she should be finished before midnight Greenwich time.
