Round The World

A small sloop skippered by a 50-year-old Englishman, Bill Procter, arrived in Tahiti on June 27 in the course of a solo voyage round the world.

Bill Procter’s voyage began in Portsmouth and has so far taken in ports in the Canary Islands, Antilles, Panama, the Galapagos, Marquesas and Tuamotus. The longest stretch was between the Galapagos and the Marquesas—3o days.

From Tahiti, Bill will go on to other islands in the Society Group, then Samoa, Tonga and Australia.
