That lot above in the vid-joes , most jacked it in the Azores. Except the one who got all the way over to the other side of Iceland then smacked himself up, turned around and sailed back home....
Which in itself is an epic achievement.

It was Greenland, not Iceland, which makes the achievement even greater. It wasn't quite clear to me from the clip whether his original intention was to eventually come out of the Davis Straights and head for the finish line. Whatever, it's a long time to spend inside a wee boat.
