Email from Florida: It's hard to believe that I've been around the world 26,668 miles in 108 days and this was the 173rd voyage of the M V Foylebank. W crossed the equator 2 times, once southbound and once northbound. One day was lost crossing the international dateline weatbound and we skipped a Friday. Our clocks went back 1 hour 26 times for time zone differences. Isn't that a good reason for the difficulty I had knowing what day and time everyone else was on. The tropic of cancer and capricorn were both crossed twice, once each northbound and southbound. The shortest time in port was 8 hours and the longest 66 hours. We were in 19 different ports and 13 diferent countries.
Would I do it again? Yes I would. I think it would be fun to go on a shorter voyage and experience what other ships are like.
