Around the World in Six Years by Henry Holt
At the age of 67, Henry Holt struck off on a sailing adventure that would become a six-year voyage unlike any other way of seeing the world. The people he met and the challenges he faced along the way - from bureaucratic headaches at ports, to truly frightening weather events, to isolation from his friends and family while relying on their help from afar - only strengthened his commitment to the journey. Around the World in Six Years is an account of sailing lessons and life lessons in equal measure. Dramatic, funny, and heartfelt, it is an account of an ordinary man on an extraordinary trip, and will inspire the aspiring adventurer in every reader.
Holt, Henry: - Since he was a boy, Holt dreamed about traveling to India. His determination to do so increased during his years at Dartmouth College. He joined the Army CounterIntelligence Corps with the agreement that following Intelligence School he would be a Special Agent in Germany. He knew that from there he could launch his journey into Asia.
After fourteen months in Asia as told in this book, he worked for the International Division of his company making it possible for him and his family, with four daughters, to live in Europe and be able to travel to Egypt and East Africa.
Retiring at 62, he continued his adventure travels with his solo circumnavigation of the world in a 35 foot sailboat. You can read about it in his book Around the World in Six Years....
