This week is the epic voyage of the St. Brendan. She is a 27 foot sailboat (yes, that is a “2″) captained by Matt Rutherford. Rutherford will have accomplished what no sailor has done before – circumnavigated the Americas, solo, nonstop, from Annapolis, to Greenland, through the Northwest Passage, Alaska, the Pacific, around South America's Cape Horn, up the Atlantic and back home. St. Brenden is set to pull into the Sailing Hall of Fame in Annapolis this weekend. Rutherford is doing it for charity to benefit CRAB, the Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating charity to help the disabled sail.
The journeys of Rutherford on St. Brendan are likely to be known a century from now, and beyond. Matt Rutherford's solo circumnavigation of the Americas can be counted among the truly epic journeys in the history of daring exploration.
My hat goes off to you! KUDOS !!!
Matt Rutherford you are an example to us all.
Welcome home - job well done!
