His journey has included one 37-day non-stop sail, from which he emerged unshaven and looking 'like Santa Claus'
A boating novice due back home in Northern Ireland after 80 days at sea said he will be "so proud" to sail into his native city having faced 20-feet waves and a lightning strike during his epic voyage.
His journey has included one 37-day non-stop sail, from which he emerged unshaven and looking "like Santa Claus". Asked why he had decided to embark on such a feat, he said: "To celebrate my life and move me out of my comfort zone and challenge me. He said: "We were sailing through a very heavy downpour between Panama and Seattle and saw lightning in the distance. Next, the lightning flashed just before our eyes. I was on deck and got a small static electric shock."
"The real positives are the people. You take 18 strangers, put them together and their common aim is to get across an ocean." Dale Smyth, deputy race director, said: "On sailing into Derry-Londonderry, the crew will have crossed one of the world's largest oceans, the North Atlantic, and so the heroes' welcome they receive each time the race comes to the city is well-earned.
