In June 1965 Adams made history as the first woman to sail solo from the mainland US to Hawaii. Four years later she finally sighted Point Arguello, California, after seventy-four days sailing a thirty-one-foot ketch from Japan, across the violent and unpredictable Pacific. This memoir recounts the inward journey that paralleled her sailing feats.
