Former Park City residents Dick Peek and Laura Ritter successfully completed a trip around the world in their 41' boat.

Former Park City Councilmember Dick Peek and his wife Laura Ritter share details on their seven-year, one-month and 17-day journey around the world on their 41-foot sailboat.

On their sailboat, Maya, the couple faced challenges such as ocean crossings, mechanical issues, and managing supplies. Their longest stretch without land was a 29-day voyage from Saint Helena to Tobago.
