A little belatedly as work has been hectic the last few months, but all good things have to come to an end.
Nick Jaffe, a young Australian, has recently completed his huge single-handed journey from the Netherlands to Australia. It's a great achievement for him, but his last sailing post echoes the sentiments of many: that sailing is about the journey, not the destination.
Sailors are truly unusual beasts in that we are happy until we arrive somewhere.
Congratulations, Nick.
