FEATURED SPEAKER
TANIA AEBI
We are thrilled that Tania Aebi, the renowned sailor who completed a solo circumnavigation of the globe at the age of 21, will be the featured speaker at our Mountainfilm event!
In May 1985, when Tania Aebi was only 18 years old, she cast off from the docks of South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan, and sailed 27,000 miles around the world, alone on a twenty-six foot sloop. Concerned about her lack of ambition, her father had offered her this dramatic opportunity as an alternative to a college education, and she took him up on it. For the next two and a half years, with only a cat for company, she and her boat, VARUNA, crossed the Caribbean, the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, and the North Atlantic, stopping in 23 countries along the way. Tania Aebi sailed through storms and calms, gathering stories, friendships, inspirational examples, and maturity along the way. She also learned a lot about setting a larger-than-life goal and being committed to following it through despite the hardships of weather, mechanical breakdowns, the death of her mother, loneliness, doubt, and fear.
In November 1987, just barely 21, Tania Aebi stepped back onto the cement shores of New York City, a solo-circumnavigator. She spent one year after her return reliving the trip in words, writing her bestselling book, MAIDEN VOYAGE, the personal account of a modern day odyssey and the childhood turbulence that led up to the undertaking.
