More people have flown into outer space than have sailed solo around the globe. It is a challenge so immense that many have died trying, and all have been pushed beyond every physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual limit. In Unsinkable, readers follow Abby Sunderland into those depths. This biography delivers a gripping and evocative firsthand account that starts prior to her departure, travels through her daring (and sometimes near-death) encounters on the open sea, to her dramatic rescue in the remotest corner of the Indian Ocean, and the media explosion that happened upon her safe return to dry land. 520 8 $a Along the way, readers discover what it means to boldly face any challenge, to strive after something great, and to plumb the depths of faith, fear, and desperation only to emerge changed, renewed, and emboldened. In this day and age, when the most productive thing a teenager may do is play videogames, Abby's ambition and tenacity is a real-life parable of what can happen when we choose to exceed our own limits, embrace faith, and strive after what all the naysayers say is impossible. 600 10 $a Sunderland, Abby, $d 1993- 650 0 $a Women sailors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women adventurers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Voyages around the world. 650 0 $a Single-handed sailing. 700 1 $a Vincent, Lynn. 856 $1 9-233-7288 941 $a 6 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716050747.0 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516011839.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231003012827.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808032210.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20151203023308.0 952 $l SUPC124 $d 20110901010702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07119E9A76DD11E0934A84F76AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
