Pat Henry 384 p, paperback, 23.1x15 cm A Woman's Solo Odyssey Around the World
Henry, the first American woman to sail 27,000 miles solo around the world, left Acapulco in her 31' sailboat, Southern Cross, on May 4, 1989, and returned eight years later on May 5, 1997. Except for approximately two years intermittently exploring some of the 40 islands and countries en route, Henry spent her time navigating treacherous waters and endured gale-force winds, high seas, equipment and navigation failures, and the constant, frightful prospect of nighttime collision with behemoth cargo ships.
In log-book diary form, she recounts the encounters and events of her long journey-first to Polynesia and the Coral Sea, then through the Malacca Straits to the Arabian Sea and onward to the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, and the North Atlantic, until finally she threads the Caribbean homeward.
The narrative is garrulous yet informative and evocative.
