About 50 people showed up to salute Saito-san on his award, considered the top international prize for blue water sailing. Part of the proceeds from the event went to the fund for Saito-san's Challenge 8, in which he plans to circumnavigate the globe by going west, "the wrong way." More photos of the party.
