Wind gusted on and off, F making the boat rock gently on the waves. The blue sky above and the blue water below were all that Abby Sunderland could see in every direction. A person could feel small with just a boat between herself, the endless ocean, and the lonely sky. Not Abby, though. Even though she was just 16 years old, she had been sailing since early 4 During Abby’s trip, it was mostly just her and the ocean. Sometimes she would go weeks without seeing another ship. childhood. One of seven children, Abby was born into a family of sailors. In fact, the whole family had once lived aboard a boat for three years. Abby knew what to do to keep her boat, Wild Eyes, in good shape. Check the lines that held down the sails. Listen for weather warnings on the radio. Add water to freeze-dried food for dinner. No one had to tell her to do these things. No one could tell her. Because Abby was alone on the boat. With her father’s help, Abby learned to pilot a boat when she was just 13. That was when she told her father that she wanted to sail around the world by herself someday. Abby’s older brother Zac had the same dream. In 2009, 17-year-old Zac sailed a boat by himself around the world. He was the youngest person on record to do so. The record lasted only six weeks until a British teenager a few months younger than Zac broke it. By the time Abby turned 16, she and her family had decided to make Abby’s journey happen. If she succeeded, she would be the youngest person ever to make such a trip. By March 21, 2010, Abby had been sailing by herself for more than 50 days. As the day ended, the wind speed picked up. It measured about 25 to 30 knots, Abby figured. She yawned, 5 6 and lay down to sleep. Autopilot would steer the boat through the night. At about 2:00 a.m., Abby jolted awake. She wondered, “Why are the dishes in my lap?” They belonged in the sink across the cabin. “And why am I sitting on the wall instead of on the bed?”1 A large swell must have tossed the boat around. Alarms went off in her head. The boat bounced upright again. Rushing above deck, Abby noticed that the autopilot had gone into standby, or sleep, mode. She fixed the course, and reset the autopilot. Then she checked the rest of the boat. The sails and the mast were fine. The radio was OK. Nothing had broken and there was no danger of sinking. Just a few things had been tossed around. She sighed in relief, and took a moment to calm down. It was the first time that Abby had felt scared. But it would not be the last. Abby was motivated by her older brother Zac for her attempt to sail around the world. 7 Chapter 2 PREPARING TO GO ost people would not like being alone day after day, but Abby M didn’t mind it. On shore, other people made her nervous. She didn’t talk much. But as the captain of her boat, Abby felt confident. The waves could be rough and the wind could be cold. Sometimes she had to steer, wet and tired, for hours. But Abby loved the challenge of sailing. 8 Abby leaving port in Marina del Rey, California, on January 23, 2010 Sailing a boat around the world takes more than experience and passion, though. It takes a lot of money for a boat, supplies, equipment, repairs, and traveling to out-of-the-way ports. Abby’s family couldn’t afford to buy all that. When Zac took his trip, he looked for sponsors, or an organization that pays for a project. Abby got a sponsor quickly for her trip: a store called Shoe City. With this money, she bought Wild Eyes, a 40-foot (12-m) sailboat. Wild Eyes was designed to travel across oceans. On January 23, 2010, Abby set sail from her home in southern California. Her goal was to finish the circumnavigation without stopping. Abby had to get used to sleeping half of the time at night and half during the day. She started her trip by heading south, out of U.S. waters and into Mexican waters. Dolphins splashed around the bow and raced behind the boat. Other times they leapt high into the air. Not long after she set sail, equipment problems cropped up. The autopilot needed more power. So did her phone and radio. Abby used solar panels and wind generators to make power. But they didn’t make enough, and when it was cloudy, the solar panels didn’t work. “I’ve hardly even started and I’m already heading in,” Abby thought.2 9 MADAGASCAR Indian Ocean AUSTRALIA CAPE TOWN Wild Eyes Ile de la Reunion This map shows where Abby’s dramatic rescue took place. Abby agreed with her father. She responded to critics by saying, “There are plenty of things people can think of to blame for my situation; my age, the time of year, and many more. The truth is, I was in a storm and you don’t sail through the Indian Ocean without getting in at least one storm. Storms are part of the deal when you set out to sail around the world. As for my age, since when does age create gigantic waves and storms?”6 Abby did not make her goal of sailing around the world. But she did sail 12,000 miles. Now that she had survived a voyage that could have killed her, she was no longer shy and afraid of 20 speaking up. Twelve hours after Abby returned to her home, her baby brother was born. Her parents named him Paul-Louis after the captain of the French fishing vessel that rescued her. Abby knew that this wouldn’t be her last adventure. She went off to college, learned to fly an airplane, and is considering sailing around the world again. One thing is certain: Abby Sunderland can make anything an adventure with her strength, courage, and determination. Abby’s name was engraved on a plaque to celebrate her survival. 21 GLOSSARY boom (boom): A boom is a long pole used to stretch out the bottom of a sail. The location of the boom on the sail allowed Abby to shift the sails to catch the wind. bow (bou): The bow is the forward area of a ship. Abby walked to the bow of the ship and looked over the edge into the ocean. circumnavigation (sur-KUHM-nav-i-gey-tion): The act of circling the earth on a ship is known as circumnavigation. The first circumnavigation of the earth took place in 1522. current (KUR-uhnt): A current is water moving in a certain direction. Abby’s boat struggled against the strong current. doldrums (DOHL-druhmz): The doldrums are a calm, quiet area in the ocean near the equator. Wild Eyes drifted, useless, in the doldrums for days before the winds picked up again. knots [nots]: Knots are the nautical term for traveling one mile per hour on water. The wind moved Wild Eyes along at 25 knots. mast (mahst): A mast is a long pole that extends upward from the bottom of a ship, which supports the sails and rigging. When the mast cracked in half, Abby knew that the ship could no longer sail. rogue wave (rohg weyv): A rogue wave is a large, unexpected, and dangerous wave. For many years, scientists thought that rogue waves were myths. swell (swel): A swell is a large wave. Wild Eyes bobbed up and down on the swell. tiller (TIL-er): A tiller is a lever used to turn a boat’s rudder from side to side.

That’s right, come join your fellow racers at Lake Pleasant for several weekends of racing until TTL is back in service!
