231 Tania Aebi: The Underground History of Amercian Education by John
Taylor Gatto from archive.org
Tania
Aebi
Tania Aebi was a seventeen-year-old New York City school
dropout bicycle messenger in 1987
when she decided to become the first American woman to sail around the
world alone. She had a
twenty-six-foot boat and no nautical tradition
when she set out. She admits to cheating on her Coast Guard
navigation exam. In a hurricane off Bermuda, generator gone, her life in peril, she
taught herself navigation in a hurry by flashlight and made port. Two years later her record-making circuit of
Planet Earth was complete.
