Joe Harris Returns To Newport After Circumnavigating The Earth, Solo

40′ GryphonSolo2 circles the world in 152 days.

Joe Harris’ 40′ yacht GryphonSolo2 sailed into Fort Adams 152 days after departing in November.

GryphoneSolo2 pulls up to the dock at Fort Adams.

Do you have anything to declare?
It’s good to be home.

Joe Harris doesn’t always return to #NewportRI after circling the world solo in 152 days, but when he does, he drinks @veuveclicquot.

If you’re considering your own circumnavigation of the globe (or you just like champagne), Bridge Liquors has Veuve Cliquot for $52.99 and they’ll deliver, right to the dock.

Congratulations to Joe Harris and to Newport, on the 1 year anniversary of the opening of the Volvo Ocean Race village opening for once again demonstrating why we’re the sailing capital of the world.
