High water pressure is a concern for every homeowner. Here is a picture of a pressure gauge, which like its name, measures the pressure of the water coming into your house. We once bought a house that the pressure from the utility company was 110 pounds per square inch (PSI) at the hose bib (another name for it is outside faucet).
Sailing Yacht. Roughly 5,000 sailors cross the Atlantic Ocean by yacht each year in the winter months, with the voyage taking around three weeks. However, the record from Ambrose Lighthouse, New York, to the Lizard, UK, stands at a staggering three days 15 hours. Even if sailors cross as part of a fleet, participating in events such as the World Cruising Club's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, they must be experienced and knowledgeable.
Other transatlantic records. 1  In 1969, Briton John Fairfax became the first person to row across the Atlantic single-handed. 2  In 1952, Frenchman Alain Bombard made the first crossing in a rubber dingy. 3  In 1988, another Frenchman, Remy Bricka, took 64 days to ski across the Atlantic on polyester floats.
