Narration During Books Maiden Voyage
Tania Aebe was an eighteen-year-old dropout and barfly. She was going nowhere until her father offered her a challenge. He would offer her either a college education or a twenty-six-foot sloop in which she had to sail around the world alone. She chose the boat and for two years it was her home, as she negotiated weather, illness, fear, and ultimately, a spiritual quest that brought her home to herself....From the Paperback edition.

Just finished Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi. It describes her solo circumnavigation starting at age 18 from New York in 1985 and finishing 2 years later in 1987.Zipped through the whole book in less than a day. Obviously a gripping tale.The stuff I loved:* She did it at 18 years old - holy shiny binnacles, Batman!* She did it on a boat that was only 26 feet long!* At the time, she was the youngest person ever to circumnavigate (minus 80 km during which she had a friend on board) * She seemed like
An inspiring read about a girl sailing around the globe by way of sailboat. The adventure was very enjoyable. Some of the nautical terms were hard to grasp not being a sailor myself but the determination to pull off a feat at such an early age was magical.
An incredible recounting of one young girl's incredibly foolish but amazing goal of circumnavigating to world in a sailboat by herself. I finished this book in a daze, it sucked me in. I travelled around the world with Tania from my flight to Utah. Maybe it was especially poignant to me as I had just gotten back from an international whirlwind trip to Peru. But I felt like I lived that trip with her. The emotions and the worries were portrayed in such a real way, that I couldn't help but feel as
Such a good book. I'm amazed at what Tania had went thru at the age of 18-21, I can't even begin to imagine how I would have coped with any of the situations that arose during her voyage! (Although she is quite lucky to have had a wealthy father)Great book and it has helped me in deciding where I should go when I circumnavigate the world in a sailboat with friends in a few years!
Maiden Voyage is a true story of a young woman's adventure sailing solo around the world at the age of eighteen. Not the kind of book I would normally pick up, I couldn't put it down. More than a tale of adventure and courage on the high seas, Maiden Voyage delves into the dynamics of Tania's fascinating family, the struggles in her heart, and the drama of falling in love, all portrayed with poetic sensibility and literary integrity.
Loved it! I want to sail the world now! Well, maybe not but it's a truly inspiring book that makes you want to experience more out of life.
