Our friend Noam Gans and his wife Dalit skippered a 42 foot Cat from the Caribbean to Portugal, arriving at the end of a 3950 mile ourney just a few days ago. The story is well told at Hitchhikers Guide to the Atlantic. This video - chased by a whale - was on the last leg, from the Azores to Portugal.
