Product Description
Product Description
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.

Absolutely wonderful book, not only did this young lady have to stuggle with growing up, but with the riggers of learning how to sail. A true voyage of self discovery seen through the eyes of innocence and wonder. Inspiring.

I have read this book twice now & can only say I fall in love with Tania & all her friends each time I read it.If only we could all enter adult hood this way.

The original edition, which included pictures of the voyage, was better. Even so, this is a fantastic and inspiring book about an incredible adventure. I first read it a year ago and, ever since, have been buying it for friends in the hope that it will make as much difference to their outlook as it did to mine.

I agree with the rest, an excellent travel memoir.
Tania's unpretentious story is fun, inspirational, and nail-biting. It's nice to have an author open up the way Tania does about herself, her family, and relationships; strengths... Read more

Tania Aebi's trip - and book - can inspire us all
A truly Good Book. Far more than an adventure in a strictly geograpical sense, Maiden Voyage left me uplifted with a reaffirmation of life, lived fully and simply. Read more

An exellent read for any level of sailor.
Perhaps a little on the romantic side, but what other way is there to talk about the sea and all its mysteries. Read more

For all serious travellers
This is a great travel book, as well as a must-read for sailors. After reading it, I had an intense desire to buy a boat and head off into the open seas. Read more
