Zac Sunderland and Robin Lee Graham

40 years ago 21-year old Robin Lee Graham (b. 1949) completed a solo circumnavigation in Dove. This was before GPS and satellite phones.

My brother wrote to Robin Lee Graham and received a hand-written response. (Not only didn't RLG have a GPS, he didn't have a computer.) I still have the letter. Very cool.

17- year-old Zac Sunderland (b. 1992) completed a solo circmnavigation in a 35 foot in 13 months this week (July 2009).
