SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- An Oakland sailor is back home after taking a history-making voyage.

Randall Reeves has spent the last year at sea sailing a figure eight around the American and Antarctica continents on his 45-foot aluminum vessel. The trek took him past Cape Horn in Southern Chile twice.

Reeves touched every one of the world's oceans. And He did all of this alone-- making him the first human to achieve the title in one season.

Reeves stopped by the ABC7 studio to tell us about his journey.
