FREEPORT — Sailor Sergei Morozov arrived in Grand Bahama on Wednesday, completing the second leg of his mission to sail around the world, and set a world record.
His journeyb began when he left Halifax, Nova Scotia on his 35ft C&C sailboat on December 5 heading to Bermuda. The first leg proved to be a very difficult journey. Mr Morozov – an experienced mariner and professional navigator – had encountered rough conditions in the Atlantic and had to manually steer his sailboat after the self-steering system failed.
He arrived in Bermuda on December 24 where he had to stay while necessary repairs were made to his boat.
Mr Morozov, who is sailing solo with his cat, was towed into the Port Lucaya Marina after more than two weeks at sea. His motor and sail were damaged in a storm.
