Fedor Konyukhov arrives in Albany Western Australia.

Greeted and congratulated by the Mayor of Albany, Western Australia.

“As Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay reached the base camp after scaling Mount Everest Hillary famously exclaimed – “we knocked the bastard off”. Fedor Konyukhov and his trusty companion ‘Trading Network Alye Parusa’ having today conquered the ‘Everest’ of ocean racing has also “knocked the bastard off”. Only this time it’s the Antarctica Cup Racetrack that has been conquered. Congratulations Fedor on a remarkable achievement by a remarkable man. Elapsed time to complete the Antarctica Cup Racetrack 102 Days 0 Hours, 56 Minutes 50 Seconds.”

It was exciting to watch Fedor come into the harbour and tie up at the Albany Town Jetty. If you want to read more about this solo non-stop record attempt around Antarctica [link]

Thank you :hug: I was so fortunate that he came in later than expected. It was pure luck that he came in on my shopping day and at the time I was having lunch near the jetty.
