Circumnavigation Complete!

LOCATION: Greenwich, England

At 12.24pm yesterday afternoon Jason Lewis, pedal boat Moksha and the Expedition 360 team crossed the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Obseratory in East London, signfifying the completion of the 13 year expedition. The world has now been circumnavigated using only human power. (Guidelines issued by Explorers Web)

A big thanks to all of you who helped make the dream come true!
