On June 14, 1968, Suhaili, a tiny ketch, slipped almost unnoticed out of Falmouth harbor while Knox-Johnston's family and a few friends waved goodbye to the solitary twenty-nine-year-old figure at the helm. His was an incredible adventure, a feat of endeavor and seamanship which will be unsurpassed and unforgotten. Sheer determination helped him survive every imaginable difficulty: Several knockdowns in the Southern Ocean, the disintegration of the self-steering system, polluted water tanks and acid burns were among the numerous setbacks he encountered even before reaching Cape Horn, the fearsome test of any seaman's nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51499385487648,"sku":"NEW0304934739","price":399.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51499385520416,"sku":"USED0304934739","price":83.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Wvl2AdWCL.jpg?v=1776703927","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-world-of-my-own-the-singlehanded-non-stop-circumnavigation-of-the-world-in-suhaili-0304934739","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
