The Associated Press: Calif. teen youngest to sail solo around world

The Associated Press: Calif. teen youngest to sail solo around world: "'We wouldn't be a family if it wasn't for our lord Jesus Christ,' he said, pointing up to the sky as the crowd yelled 'Jesus!'
...
"I'm hoping to set off on my next adventure soon — Mt. Everest or down to the Arctic Circle," Sunderland said."

OK, first, where did they find a crowd that was so into god that they "yelled 'Jesus!'"?

Second, for a kid who sailed around the world, his geography isn't all that sharp. Oddities of Maine and map projections aside, who the hell refers to North as down? And this is me being picky, but he does know he can't sail to Mt. Everest, right?
