Sir Robin Knox-Johnston smiled and waved to a crowd of well wishers who gathered to help kick start a weekend of celebrations to mark his amazing achievement.''The sailor set off from Portsmouth Harbour, Hants, today in the 32-foot long ketch Suhaili, having lovingly restored it five decades after he circumnavigated the world on her.
