VALPARAISO, Chile — A sailor rescued in the remote South Pacific won’t rule out another try to navigate alone around the tip of South America.
After all, he’s tried six times, and he’s just 84 years old.
“Age means nothing. What is important is that you are alive, so I don’t worry about numbers,” Thomas Louis Corogin said Monday when Chile’s navy brought him to shore after a key piece of rigging snapped.
“I have no fear. When you sail on the ocean, you have to understand your boat, just like the captain has to understand his ship,” said Corogin, who runs a marina in Port Clinton, Ohio.
