about: At the age of 18 she set off from New York on a solo circumnavigation of the globe in a 26 foot sailboat, Varuna. She returned at the age of 21 and Maiden Voyage is a memoir of her solo trip around the world. Upon her return she married Olivier, a fellow sailor she met on her trip. Although they would later divorce, she went on to raise two sons with him, earned her BA and MFA, as well as her captain's license, and continued to sail both with her family and leading charters, and continued to write. In 2005 a collection of Tania Aebi's columns from Latitudes &amp; Attitudes was published as I've been around. Tania Aebi writes for sailing and cruising magazines.
