“At Sea, I Learned How Little A Person Needs, Not How Much.”
In 1965, 16-year-old Robin Lee Graham embarked on a daring solo voyage to sail around the world. While he gained fame as the youngest solo sailor, he wasn’t entirely alone – his cat often accompanied him on the journey.
Over several years, Graham braved the unpredictable open seas, battling fierce storms, extreme isolation, and countless obstacles. His remarkable adventure, which began in California, spanned multiple oceans and cemented his place in history as the youngest person at the time to complete a solo circumnavigation. His story continues to inspire adventurers, sailors, and thrill-seekers worldwide.
