Description
Adrian Flanagan's remarkable solo adventure took him over 30 years to plan and execute. In 2018, he became the first person to sail vertically around the world, single-handedly navigating thousands of miles of ocean. His journey was marked by perilous waters off Cape Horn, a close encounter with pirates, and two dislocated wrists - all while alone, often over 1,000 miles from help. Despite the high-stakes challenges, Flanagan also experienced moments of awe-inspiring beauty, such as sailing alongside whales and swimming with dolphins. His account is a unique and introspective tale of determination and zeal, written in a pacily humorous tone that captures the essence of his epic journey. This book tells the story of Flanagan's remarkable achievement, offering a glimpse into the world of solo ocean sailing and the mental and physical challenges that come with it.
