A veteran Navy rescue swimmer and his old high school buddy reconnect and forge a new bond with a fresh goal: to sail around Cape Horn to honor the brave men and women who, because of PTSD, would never get the chance.
Around the Horn, down the coast, or around the buoys, the iPad can help the sailor to navigate the course, communicate key ideas, coordinate the details of the trip, and ensure a literate voyage.
On Monday, January 7, intredpid solo-sailor Jeanne Socrates rounded Cape Horn during her third attempt at a non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation beneath the five Great Capes. And, oh yeah, she’s 70 years old.
