Peter Lawless from Ireland is planning a solo unassisted non-stop circum navigation (checks his route that he crosses his antipode. Yes). He says he plans to use primarily sextant and paper chart. Here is his web site https://www.peterlawlesssolocircumnavigation.com/ So its not just Golden Globe contestants! It might be interesting to follow his preparations and progress, and find out to what he relies on celestial navigation and dead reckoning for position fixing or if he just runs in in parallel with GHSS. He claims he will be the first Irish person to do this, and that surprises me if it is true. Bill
