I forgot a recent book that is truly an adventure:
Maiden Voyage - by Tania Abei
It's about an 18-yr-old young woman, (unsettled in life) who is a bike
messenger in NYC. Her father, wanting her to push her into adulthood, offers
her a 4-yr college education or her own seaworthy sailboat that she must
skipper around the world... alone! She takes the latter offer and the
adventure begins. It's about her coming of age, her fight for survival and
her adventures (albeit terrifying ones at times) - but throughout this it's
truly armchair travelling - a real treat!
