Tania Aebi was 18 when she sailed from New York at the start of her two-year, single-handed voyage round the world.The youngest person to ever succeed in such an epic journey, she began by knowing next to nothing about sailing or navigation.She survived gales and near shipwreck. She was sea-sick, soaked, exhausted, bruised and lonely. She got lost, ran aground and was nearly run down by a supertanker.There was enchantment, danger and disappointment in her ports of call. She set out a rebellious teenager and returned a self-confident woman who had com to terms with her difficult past, her emotionally-disturbed mother and her impossibly demanding father. And in the South Seas she met the man who was to become her husband.
