On this recent trip, through a series of unexpected moments, we ended up by the bay at America’s Cup yacht races, where we heard the story of Alex Thomson, who had sailed solo, non-stop around the world multiple times.
To give some perspective:
3,000 people have climbed Mount Everest;
500 people have been to space;
but less than 100 have sailed solo nonstop around the world.
Alex had done this multiple times as part of the Vendée Globe, an 80-day solo race around the world.
