Harry,

Another gem. Thanks for the link. How times have changed, now you just have to write some rubbish on YouTube or similar to become world famous for no reason.

What an astonishing story - Quite a feat of seamanship indeed, 1300 miles in an open boat with a small and undernourished crew.
I find it shocking that politics of the day could have interfered so much in the recognition of such a feat. All respect to the late Donald McDonald and his boats crew!
