A Columbia 34 is just departing Vancouver BC for a nonstop trip all the way around. On board is a 23 year girl who wants to be the youngest women to do this. The boat was given to her by a guy who said she reminded him of his X girlfriend. The core needed repair which was done with a lot of volunteer help and she now has a sponsor for the trip. Her site which I have not checked yet is
www.roslinforrest.org Just checked the link and the site looks good. I sure hope she knows that Stewart Island is not the only Island South of the South Island in NZ. Auckland Island is further South and has been hit before. There is now a supply station with some provisions on the Island.
