" Zac! Zac! Now where is that boy? I need him to help clean out the garage. What is he up to now?". "Mom, Zac is not here. He said he was taking the boat and going sailing." "Again? I do declare that's all the boy wants to do. At seventeen a young man ought to be looking for a job, or hanging out with his friends, instead of sailing all the time. When did he say he would be back?". "He didn't Mom. He is sailing around the world. He wants to be the youngest to ever do it." "That boy is going to get himself killed! He will do anything to get out of normal work."
On June 14, 2008, Zac Sunderland did sail from California, with a goal of sailing around the world...alone. He wanted to become the youngest person to ever accomplish that feat. He crossed three oceans and five seas, sailing more than 25,000 miles. He had a scare from pirates, broken equipment, being washed overboard by a giant wave; but on July 16, 2009, Zac sailed in to port having accomplished an "impossible" goal of taking a sailboat trip around the world. He said: "The hardest thing to get used to is that there's no normalcy. Every day is different. Never being anywhere at a certain time is hard to get used to."
So what do you have planned for today?
