Looking for adventure
Patrick Jones was twenty-seven when he set off
from New York to sail around the world alone.
Here are some of the entries from the diary he
wrote during his journey.
12th May
I left for Bermuda as planned. I’ve been missing
home since I left. I won’t see my friends and
family again for many months. (And to be
honest, I’m really frightened of travelling by
myself.)
26th May
It’s been two weeks since I started and I’ve just
arrived in Bermuda. I got lost a couple of times
on the way here, which was really worrying.
28th February
The storms and powerful seas nearly destroyed
my boat this morning. For the last two months,
I’ve also been using equipment that isn’t
working properly.
25th September
An enormous oil tanker almost crashed into my
boat this morning. It has been one of the most
terrifying days of my life.
