Jansen, Herman, 19xx. De horizon zeilde mee, dag na dag . Logbook like story of single handed circumnavigation. An example of a well prepared and reliably performed voyage. Worth reading for those who want to follow his tracks and want to be well prepared too.
Highlight is the stranding on an atol, and the subsequent refloating with help of the local people.
Jones, Tristan, 1977. Sheridan House, 1996. In the late sixties Tristan Jones sets himself the nearly impossible task to sail from the lowest lake on earth to the highest, i.e. from the Dead Sea in Israel to lake Titicaca in the Andes. His adventures are numerous. Being shot at by Arabs, nearly dying from hunger and fatigue on dead-end streams of the Amazon, dragging his ship over logs to the next river.
