This 34-year-old woman has sailed solo around the world for 10 years
Captain Liz Clark lifted anchor on her boat in 2006, and has been independently sailing around the world ever since, with no plan to stop anytime soon.
Armed with an in-depth education in sailing, and a lifetime at sea with her family’s boat, The Endless Summer, Clark is well qualified for the toil of open-ocean navigation. In fact, she even went on a six month excursion with the boat, about 5,000 miles, with her family at seven years old.
Progressing into adulthood, Clark decided that it was time for her own boat—not only because she loved sailing, but because she wanted to “protect the natural world from human destruction,” according to her website, swellvoyage.com.
Clark purchased the boat in 2005—which she named Swell—a vessel of surprisingly decent condition despite dating back to 1966
