Possibly a combination of bravado and stupidity as well as rum.

Interesting. Two different boats do the same sailing trip, both of
them from Halifax. I wonder what they add to the drinking water in
Halifax.
Btw. I think that the guys I know did it in a different (not C&C)
boat and a little bit bigger (30 or 31 ft.).

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.
