Laura Dekker's Circumnavigation

[GordMay]

Having completed a 2200 nm solo TrasAt, Laura Dekker & “Guppy” (Jeanneau Gin Fizz 38) are in Sint Maarten.

Overall, the solitude of the trip wasn’t difficult, she said, although she did have fleeting bouts of homesickness. “There were two or three moments that I thought, ‘OK, why the hell am I doing this?’ But they were not for very long. If I feel really lonely I can always call my parents or something so then it’s over,” Dekker said.

On arrival, she told the AP that she wasn’t sure how long she would stay in St. Maarten or precisely where her next leg would take her.

“I will just stay here now for a bit and I will think about that,” Dekker said. “I’ve not really a plan. I just want to be in the Panama Canal in May, April, so until that time I will cross the islands, I think.”
