Perhaps you were raised never to mention a lady's age. Our Jeanne Socrates revels in it. She has embarked, on October 3, to become the oldest female SOLO circumnavigator, and the first woman to solo circumnavigate from North America.  Leaving from Vancouver, B.C., this member of our San Francisco Station is now about 400 miles off Bahia San Ramon, Baja California.

With the recent change in award recognition, the PNW station awarded circumnavigation pennants to the follwing members and spouses: Paul Baker, Suzette Connolly, Mary Alice and Brian O'Neill, PL and Kurt Mondloch, Garth Wilcox, Sue Corenman,  Jim Corenman, and Neil and Nancy Sirman.
