At 16, Abby will be the first, male or female, to accomplish such a feat.

Abby isn’t taking the easy route either; she will be alone, unassisted and plans to never take refuge on land. Following her departure on the 23rd of this month, she aims to complete the circumnavigation by June.

The route will take her through some extreme conditions, but the young adventurer seems unfazed. Her Day 5 blog makes it very clear that, despite failing equipment, she is having enormous fun, surfing big swells and making the most of the strong winds.

Good luck Abby!!

Adventure Travel News from beouthere.com will be reporting on Abby’s progress throughout her voyage.
