The Guinness Book of World Records credits his 202-day passage as the world record for solo circumnavigation in a monohull. Webb Chiles, however, is not one to rest on his laurels, and left San Diego a year ago December to do another solo circumnavigation, this one in Chidiock Tichborne, an 18-ft open boat. That's pretty radical stuff, and you couldn't help wondering if it was subconscious suicide. Few people would have been surprised if he was never heard from again. For 6,000 ocean miles to Suva, everything went as well as could be expected in a small open boat, but on May 10, Chidiock hit an object in the water, pitchpoled, and fi lled with water. Losing everything, Chiles scrambled into his infl atable dinghy and tied onto the open boat, which remained awash. For the next two weeks, he feasted on a few crackers, part of a packet of freeze-dried food, and a few sips of water. Eventually he washed up on a reef in the New Hebrides, dragged the infl atable across the reef and paddled to the beach, and eventually got to a hospital. Personal injuries were limited to an injured foot and loss of weight. Chidiock fi nally washed up on the beach also. As you might assume, Webb is not about to give up. He'll gather supplies and repair equipment in New Zealand, fi x the boat, then it's off to Port Moresby, New Guinea, where he was heading before being so rudely interrupted.
