About the Author
After an early career as a secondary school PE teacher, Dee Caffari realised that her destiny was a life on the water. She gave up her job and worked with Mike Golding Yacht Racing, completing a number of offshore races. During the 2004/5 Global Challenge Race, Dee successfully skippered 18 amateur yachtsmen around the world and in the same 72ft yacht, Aviva, she completed her record-breaking circumnavigation, finishing on 18 May 2006.
Review
'This is another inspiring account of what can be achieved with grit and determination...it brings home again the bravery and resourcefulness of those who set sail to battle alone against the world's oceans.' Yachting Monthly (October 2007) 'Dee is a former PE teacher and only took up sailing 7 years ago. In that time she's packed in an amazing amount, and the book tell hers incredible history, including a race against time in the Southern Ocean to save a critically ill crewmember. The book is a brilliant read.' Yachting World (September 2007) 'Caffari's achievements--More people have walked on the moon than successfully completed a westabout circumnavigation--certainly deserve to be told.' The Bookseller (May 2007) 'It's a book best read by dreamers, because doers may be infected and inspired' Sailing Today (December 2007) 'This is an incredibly moving and inspirational book ... you can't fail to be in awe of Dee when you read this book, in the words of Dee, "We just have to dare to dream."' Boat Mart (March 2008)
