Teen ends globe-circling voyage in St. Maarten
A teenager from the Netherlands has ended a yearlong solo journey around the globe aboard a ketch named "Guppy." Dozens of people cheered as Laura Dekker waved and sailed into the St. Maarten harbor on Saturday, returning to the Caribbean island from which she set out on Jan. 20, 2011.
Dekker celebrated her 16th birthday during the trip and claims she is the youngest sailor to complete a round-the-world voyage. The Guinness World Records has said it won't back that up because it no longer recognizes records for youngest sailors to discourage dangerous attempts. (AP)
