Marek, I am pretty sure this was a 'single-handed' trip.....the sailor
was from the Armdale Yacht Club.....was a topic of conversation among
the sailing community here. Now whether he had his passport with him or
didn't want a warm beer or his wife called and told him to get home, I
can't say.
On another sailing adventure, I met the Russian sailor that circumvented
in a C&C 35 MKI......I didn't plan it but I just happened to be on the
dock at our club to let his lines go when he left Halifax on his
adventure and a few years later, I just happened to be on the dock to
receive his lines when he returned. Why Halifax was his start and
finish point, I don't know. I never thought to ask him. I gave him
some chocolate bars just before he left and he gave me a bag of dried
seaweed when he returned. I didn't eat the seaweed.
He put the boat up for sale on his return to Halifax.....no idea what
happened to it......it was pretty crude.

I know personally a couple of guys, who while living in Halifax (now
one of them is in Ottawa), did this (or the same) trip. But they did
it two-handed. Either it is a very popular endeavour among Haligonians
or we are talking about the same trip.

Don't ask me why he did it (I don't know) but a local sailor here some
years back sailed his C&C 27 MKI, single handed, to England from
Halifax, N.S. rounded a buoy in the English Channel and sailed back home.
