very nice Q+A done in 2014.

Excerpt: " Describe the finish of your trip as you see it today. Relief? Satisfaction? End of a chapter? Worry about the next big thing?

Nah, just another crossing done for me. I really wanted to sleep and have a warm shower when I arrived in Sint Maarten. I didn't realize at that stage what I had accomplished and it took about five months until it slowly began to sink in. Mostly, because I just kept going afterwards [sailing to New Zealand]. My life didn't change after I had finished. "

Edit: The URL I had originally inserted no longer works, but you get the gist of it.
