In the world of adventure, one achievement stands out as the ultimate physical and emotional challenge: sailing non-stop alone around the world. This is the saga of two teenage girls who seek to do this, rounding Cape Horn, Sailing Everest, then challenging the mighty Southern Ocean. One succeeds and one fails, but a more important event takes place while they are on their journeys. Initially rivals and strangers, they become friends over the radio and in a most exciting climax, one comes out to save the other from death by drowning in a storm-ravaged Indian Ocean. This is a saga of friendship and faith in the most unusual of circumstances. Set not only on both girls' yachts but also including the sponsors, support teams, media and the politicians who are involved, this is a saga of great adventure and great friendship. | Sailing Everest by Paul Grainger, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
