Two other single-handed round-the-world accounts I enjoyed are Robin Lee Graham's _Dove_ (the name of his boat), and Chay Blyth's _The Impossible Voyage_. Graham's voyage was noteworthy because of how young he was -- 16. He might have been, as I recall, the youngest ever to make such a voyage at that time. His book was later made into a film starring Joseph Bottoms and Deborah Raffin. Blyth's was noteworthy because he was the first to sail singlehanded "the wrong way round," westwards, nonstop. Incredibly arduous. Wikipedia says The Times called this "The most outstanding passage ever made by one man alone." His vessel was a 59 footer called "British Steel."
