Matt Rutherford's first goal in his audacious attempt to circumnavigate North and South
America in a small sailboat, solo and without ever touching land, was to make it through the
Northwest Passage before winter. He has attained that goal in "St Brendan" a 27-foot Albin-Vega
sailboat and now is heading for the Bering Straits and south to Alaska.
He cast off in June form Annapolis, Maryland and has sailed over 6000 miles.
Matt has a learning disability and has dedicated his challenging voyage to Chesapeake Region
Accessible Boating (crabsailing.org), an Annapolis non-profit which provides boating opportunities
for children and adults with disabilities. Follow his passage at www.solotheamericas.com
