ARLA/CLUSTER: A èpica viagem de uma radioamadora de 70 anos

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

70-year-old Radio Ham's epic voyage

A 70-year-old radio amateur, Jeanne Socrates KC2IOV, from Ealing, West
London has succeeded in sailing single-handed around the world

Jeanne KC2IOV sold her house to fund the challenge setting off from
Victoria, Canada on October 22, 2012 in her third attempt to
circumnavigate the globe. When she docked on Monday, July 8, 2013,
becoming the oldest person to complete the solo voyage, she said:

"I am the oldest by a long shot. Who else would be crazy enough to do
it? As soon as you mention your age and number to other people, they
get very ageist. They classify you and put you in a pocket as being
old and no good. But we shouldn't be - we are no different as people."
