I'm a very casual sailor but I love this website and its web 1.0 feel. Great sight to explore and find something new.

If you're interested in learning more about solo sailing voyages, the new non-fiction book "Sailing Alone: A Surprising History of Isolation and Survival at Sea" by Richard King is fascinating.

Another recommendation: Racundra's First Cruise by Arthur Ransome.

I wished for photos! Anyone know if there are some of this boat and journey?

Right. The title conjures dreamy images in my mind that I was dying to see images!

Solo sailors became a semiprominent microniche on youtube during the pandemic, you can watch this sort of thing in incredible detail that way if you want. Sam Holmes did this trip (and many others) and has IMO the best channel about this kind of sailing. He has nerves of steel and is not necessarily to be emulated but a great watch. FWIW I'm a long-time recreational sailor but I've only done a few long passages and none of them solo.
