Sailing alone around the world is one of the immortal books.
Introduction, by Arthur Ransome. In the fair land of Nova Scotia, a maritime province, there is a ridge called North Mountain, overlooking the Bay of Fundy on one side and the fertile Annapolis valley on the other.
Sailing alone around the world. To get underweigh: It was on the 28th of February, 1886, that the bark Aquidneck, laden with case-oil, sailed from New York to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, the strip of land bounding the River Plate on the east, and called by the natives "Banda Oriental."

Finally, upon return of spring, the Liberdade was refitted on a voyage retracing her course to Washington, where, following a safe arrival, she will end her days in the Smithsonian Institution; a haven of honour that many will be glad to know she has won.

Buy it. A Charmingly narrated tale of the first solo round the world sailing trip. A Unique Book.
Voyage of the Liberdade:
A Lesser work, but a pleasant way to pass time, nicely bundled here with with 'Sailing Alone...' The tone feels similar, Slocum was never happy with this his earlier work, and rewrote it several times.
