Flying
an airplane around the word that can fly nonstop around the world is
something that any one of a million pilots could do. Breaking sailing
records by hiring the best designers to design the boat and then hiring
the
best crew (including captain) to sail it could also be done by anyone.

I'm not sure I agree with the first (millions? nah; hundreds, sure)

I said "million" singular.

and I know I disagree with the second. For one thing, the sailor
mentioned in this thread didn't have a crew: she was solo.


I should be pretty obvious that I wasn't talking about a solo sailor, I was
talking about Steve Fossett's sailing records which have also been mentioned
in this thread..
