Robin Knox Johnston : “Happy new year”

Happy New Year. Joyon’s progress and speeds are fantastic. In Enza we averaged 448 miles per day between Africa and Australia, or about 18 1/2 knots and we thought we were fast, (it certainly felt fast!) but here we are, 23 years later, and the speeds are around 30 knots. Would not you love […]
