Maiden Voyage

Rating:
Summary: Maiden Voyage = Winner
Review: Maiden Voyage is a truly great book. It contains everything you could ever want in a novel. It has comedy, drama, hardship, excitment, and even romance. The story is truly amazing, about an 18 year old girl who sails around the world. She starts out with very little knowledge about sailing and by the end she gains a world of new and useful knowledge. A neat part about this book is that throughout the author gives little facts about the places and people she meats. This makes for a very interesting read. I would recommend this book to anybody young or old who is just looking for a warm story to read.

Summary: Read it again and again... Aebi's adventures never get old!
Review: The amazing story of an 18 year old who sets out to see the world. However, unlike the majority of us who board a 747 and are at our destination a few hours later, Aebi travels around the world alone on a sailboat. Her adventures are really interesting and her story is inspiring. At times, the book is a bit technical (it *is* a sailing book), but even for those of us who have never sailed before in our lives, her accounts of her past and her travels really make the book enjoyable and understandable. I've read it several times and it has always managed to inspire me. Never a boring read.
