[PUP] Circumnavigators under power

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm overdue in updating the 
honor roll of circumnavigations of the world by passagemakers under 
power.

Since I last updated the list below, I have confirmed two 
circumnavigations by Larry Briggs and have leads on several others. 
Of course, Idlewild needs to be added, too.

More, as soon as I get a chance.
