Donna Lange Makes Landfall
Posted By RichC on March 31, 2016
Donna Lange anchored aboard her boat Inspired Insanity (renamed Inspired Sanity, this trip she says) on March 29, 2016 near the Panama Canal
Solo ’round-the-world sailor Donna Lange is safely at anchor west of the Panama Canal after lousy weather stymied her non-stop circumnavigation via the Cape Horn. She detoured after suffering damage and lose of her electronics and will head for a Rhode Island completion after passing through the canal. Her initial plan was to be the first woman to sail nonstop by rounding both capes (Africa and South America) — still, she is on an impressive 2nd rounding. It is a physical undertaking on such a small 28′ boat for a 53 year old. “Keep on, keeping on” Donna!
Donna Lange set out last May from Bristol, RI on a round-the-world voyage and will be making landfall this week in Panama.
