Video of our boating trip on the Silver River and the Ocklawaha River in Ocala, Florida. The Silver River Springs are the largest artesian springs in the world. Ocala, Florida, is known as the "Horse Capital of the World" because it has more horses than any other county in the United States. On the full version of this video: https://youtu.be/np4Y2tWLSY4?si=cMFGyz7M6gNHFZe4 at minute 5:30 along the Ocklawaha River we think we heard the wild monkeys: "Yes, there are wild rhesus macaque monkeys in Silver Springs State Park in Florida: Origin - The monkeys are native to Asia and were released into the park in 1938 by a boat tour operator to attract tourists. Population - There are an estimated 400 monkeys in the park at any given time. They can be found roaming the riverbanks and trees along the Silver River. Behavior - The monkeys can be aggressive and nasty and may chase people down for long periods of time. They can also get aggressive if people try to feed them or get too close."
To race around the world alone non-stop is pretty special and those that succeed enter an elite club. But when it comes to lapping the planet against the prevailing winds and currents, non-stop and alone the list stops way short of double figures. Last Christmas, solo sailor Guirec Soudée left France to set a new record and add his name to the gang, but his campaign took a very different approach. Instead of choosing a sturdy metal hulled monohull, Soudée and his team decided to take on the world in reverse with a fragile Ultim trimaran.
