    One kick-ass lady

    Ellen MacArthur has completed her single-handed round-the-world 27,000 mile voyage in record-breaking time: 71 days and under 13 hours.

    How is any of this snow related, you ask? Well, apparently a little around the South Seas ;)

    I don't think...

    I could be alone with myself for 71 days. I'm not that interesting. Just ask Canuck.;)

    Good on her!

    Many Kick-Ass People!

    Great job by Ellen for sure!

    Don't forget to mention though, the Vendee Globe solo around the world race with Open 60 class monohull sailboats (arguably a more difficult race altogether than just beating an existing record). These people are still racing and finishing as we speak and include:
    Vincent Riou - 87 days 10 hours
    Jen Le Cam - 87 days 17 hours (how close it that for 1 - 2 finish?)
    Mike Golding - 88 days 15 hours
    Dominique Wavre - 92 days 17 hours

    8 more solo boats out in the mid-Atlantic pushing for the finish at Les Sables in France.
