Sailing Across The Atlantic
Callahan first left Newport, Rhode Island in 1981 all alone, headed towards Bermuda. Then from there, he made it to England with another friend, Chris Latchem. He joined a race from Penzance, but had no choice but to quit in Spain when his boat incurred some damage. And it would be when he continued his solo trip from the Canary Islands that things were going to go very wrong.
