Ok, here is another Southern Ocean single hander ~ raced in the Vendee Globe in 1996 and finished!
And saved the life of another racer on Christmas Day!
Talk about goose bumps and teary eyes as I read how he found and rescued Raphael Dinelli...
Amazing.
Incredible.
And so very far away from anything I would ever want to do or could possibly do.
Too cold.
Too alone.
Too scary.
Too much knowledge, strength and nerve needed.
Too insane.
But what a man!
And the cool part?
Raphael Dinelli is racing in the Vendee Globe 2008!
