An 81-year-old grandfather from Australia has become the oldest person to sail around the world alone without stopping. Bill Hatfield sailed back into the Gold Coast Harbour on Saturday morning after 295 days at sea. “Oh, I can tell you that I’m very happy to be back. Nice to be on land again,” Mr Hatfield said.
When Mr Hatfield sailed to the west, he faced stronger winds and currents, and he also fell into the sea at one time. It was his third trip around the world, but first without making a stop along the way. Mr Hatfield’s journey was not safe.
Mr Hatfield said he wanted to spend some time with his family, but was already making plans for his next great trip on the sea. He became the oldest person to sail around the world by himself. Mr Hatfield’s daughter Katherine Lembros said she was glad to have her father home.
