Sea Trials
Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire | Wendy Hinman
1 post | 1 read
A shipwreck might end a dream of circumnavigating the globe. Not for the Wilcox family. A timeless true story of resilience and determination as they face wild weather, threats from pirates, gun boats, mines and thieves, a broken rig, scurvy and starvation in a journey that tests them to their limits.

The Wilcox family decided to circumnavigate the globe starting in 1974. Their adventures included shipwreck and some highly questionable decision making. This is a low pick for me because it‘s an interesting story, but it was written recently when awareness of privilege is prominent, yet it failed to explore their very obvious privilege. It felt much more like it was written in the 70s or 80s.
