A World of My Own: The first ever non-stop solo round the world voyage

Wrote a review for

This book just opened up a sailing rabbit hole in my algorithm. It's a interesting read about the first solo sailing trip around the world that took place over 300+ days. 20% of it is his actual journals throughout the trip, and the rest is him recollecting on the rest.

I had to put the book down more than a few times to look up whatever sailing terms he was using, as the audience he was writing for was other sailors. It was still enjoyable nonetheless, and it's opened up my world to other solo journeys I was never aware of.

There are only a few photos in the book, and in hindsight I would have loved to see more detailed shots of the interior of the boat since they seem hard to come by.
