Stanley Paris: Delayed but not deterred

(December 2, 2013) – American Stanley Paris, who had scheduled his solo non-stop around the world departure from St. Augustine, Florida on November 30, pushed off this morning after rough seas hindered his harbor exit. Paris seeks to set a reference time from St Augustine, but will also be passing Bermuda on the way out and the return back to set a new record. Paris, who is 76 years, is also vying for the oldest reference and to be the first to circumnavigate in complete green mode and use no hydrocarbons.
