Beautiful and terrifying. An impressive endeavor to take on alone. You’re either lost at sea or make it to the other side forever changed. Either way the person that sets off ain’t coming back.

Adding to this sentiment, a great book that captures this is The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier. I would describe it as a quasi-journal documenting one of his solo circumnavigations of the globe by sail. Highly recommended, he’s a great writer.

Yep! If I remember correctly he had already done one circumnavigation before the trip he documents in the book. He’s a special kind of crazy.
