200607190816 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. Link
