Chris Meadows says: "On the subject of sailing around the world, here's a plug for The Boy
Who Sailed Around the World Alone by Robin Lee Graham. It's an
autobiographical tale, illustrated with copious photos, of a teenager
who became the youngest person (at least at the time) to sail solo
around the world. I read it as a kid, and found it really fascinating.
It's out of print now, but you can still find used copies if you look.
