He Makes It
p. 16 · Read in the full issue
American raftsman William Willis, 71, who sailed his raft, Age Unlimited 10,000 miles from Peru to Northern Aus tralia, arriving in September, was in Sydney in November, lecturing on his experiences and arranging for a lengthy film he took on his journey to be shown on Australian TV.
He had planned to sail to Sydney direct.
Willis made the last stage of his journey from Queens land to Sydney aboard a freighter, with the raft as deck cargo. He later towed her outside Sydney Harbour and sailed her in gaily—for the benefit of news cameras.
