I got a call from Martin this evening. It was 5:00am his time and he was on the last hour of his 4-hour watch. He called to tell me that he was 500 meters from officially completing his circumnavigation on AMARA after starting off from France almost 21 months ago.

While on the phone, Martin and I talked about what it took to get him to this point and what a monumental moment it was as he completed the final 150 meters. Martin also expressed how grateful he was for my support and how we "both" did this. Once Martin crossed over the 360ยบ mark, no fireworks went off and no corks were popping, but the elation and excitement between us was equal to any crowd. It was a special few minutes that just the two of us shared some 7,800 miles apart. Him in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and me safely tucked away at home. Miles apart, yet so close while we shared this special moment... together .
It's been a good day.
