Reid Falsely Claims Beating Jon Sanders' Record

On Sunday, June 14th, 2008 - Day 421, Reid claims in his post at 1000 days at sea:

Jon Sanders, who I have often spoken about held the 1st and 2nd place records for the longest sea voyages in history. His 2nd place sea voyage of 419 days 22 hours and 10 minutes I have just surpassed.


According the the record as quoted in Wikipedia, the record Reid claims to have beaten is:

Longest period alone at sea during a continuous voyage: 419 days: 22 hours: 10 minutes
Wiki Article on Jon Sanders

On day 420, Reid had only been ALONE at sea for 113 days. He had Soanya aboard for the first 307.
