Dr. Stanley Parris continues his circumnavigation of the globe bid where he started on Saturday December 7th off St. George’s Head.
Paris is hoping to accomplish 3 main goals.
1. To complete the circumnavigation in less than 150 days, 6 hours and 1 minute, which is the previous record held by Dodge Morgan.
2. To become the oldest person to complete the circumnavigation at age 76
3. To complete the navigation without using any fuel at all. All power will be supplied by wind and solar energy with sealed diesel tanks available in case of emergency.
The 64ft cutter rigged vessel is carrying 120 dehydrated meals, 120 deep frozen meals and a large stock of MRIs and dried foods. Water will be collected from the deck and the vessel has an electric water maker.
