Zac Sunderland Becomes Youngest to Complete Solo Circumnavigation

He did it! Zac Sunderland, who just turned 17 a month ago, completed a solo circumnavigation by sailboat. Hundreds of fans escorted the sailor as he sailed his boat, Intrepid, the final miles into Marina Del Rey in California. He was covered by all the major news networks including CNN and BBC. And here's a nice LA Times story.

Congratulations Zac!
