LOTR, there r no fresh apples at the end of an ocean crossing.

The NCSO Marine Unit rescued two people that were on their sailboat in the Fernadina Harbor around 8:30 p.m. Luckily no one was injured but let this be a reminder not to head out on your boat in these dangerous conditions. #hurricaneian #OneNassau

The expedition fleet initially consisted of about 270 men and 5 ships when it set out from Spain on 20 September 1519. 3 years later only a single ship with 18 men returned to Spain. Magellan himself died in battle in the Philippines.

500 years ago today on 6 September 1522 Juan Sebastián Elcano and the remaining crew of the ship Victoria of the Magellan expedition reached Sanlúcar de Barrameda 🇪🇸 thereby completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth.
