Tania Aebe was an eighteen-year-old dropout and barfly. She was going nowhere until her father offered her a challenge. He would offer her either a college education or a twenty-six-foot sloop in which she had to sail around the world alone. She chose the boat and for two years it was her home, as she negotiated weather, illness, fear, and ultimately, a spiritual quest that brought her home to herself....From the Paperback edition.
In 1985, at the age of 18, Tania Aebi set out to sail around the world alone. In this volume she presents a compendium of sailing experience and reflections. It is suitable reading for the armchair sailor dreaming about sailing one day, as well as the sailor in the cockpit actively chasing those horizons.
