Francis Chechester had never witnessed a more beautiful sunset than on the day when be saw the shoreline of Britain after grueling voyage of 226 days.

Nearly thirty thousand people had gathered on the seaside to give him a hero’s welcome. The rays of the setting sun had coloured the waves of the sea with a brilliant glow. Aircrafts were hovering in the sky just above the boat called Moth-IV to celebrate Francis Chechester’s one-man-voyage round the world. No one had accomplished such a daring feat before. Chechester had started from lthe Plymouth harbour on 27th August, 1966m and after sailinground the world on the highseas for 226 days, he had returned on 28th May, 1967.
