People I admire - Robin Lee Graham

Graham's book "Dove" was given to me by my mother when i was 8 or 9 and it really impacted me. His story of sailing around the world as a teenager in the late 60s is still extraordinary. many young people have done this since, but none on such a little boat (24') and with only sextant, compass and, toward the end, radio. i basically started sailing because of that book.
