This is another paragraph Product Description: More people have gone into space than sailed around the world alone. Yet for Emma Richards being adrift in pirate-infested waters was nothing compared to struggling through the 'soul-destroying solitude' of crossing 30,000 nautical miles for 132 days in a solo yacht. Moving, compelling and inspirational, Around Alone is a stunning tale of a young woman's battle with the elements.
