TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Jerome Rand Attempting to Sail Around the World

Hi all. Thought some people here might be interested in following along with a pretty cool sailing journey. Jerome Rand, who was the Watersports Director at BEYC for many years, just left on solo, non-stop circumnavigation attempt on a Westsail 32 sailboat. He has already sailed around the world once non-stop via the three great capes, but this time he is attempting the Figure 8 Voyage! For those of you who do not know what the Figure 8 sail is, I attached a photo here.

And here is the link to his Facebook page where his Mom posts his daily updates via satellite communications. Facebook Group: Sailing Into Oblivion

Pretty crazy...

Thanks...that will be cool to follow. Now that is taking social distancing to the limit!

The first time he sailed around, he did the FIVE great capes! What an achievement!!!
