Tania was a teenager working as a bicycle messenger in New York CIty and hanging out in Lower East Side bards until 4:00 a.m. when her father offered her a challenge: Tania could choose either a college education or a 26-foot sloop. The only catch was that if she chose the sailboat she would have to sail around the world - alone - and do some growing up along the way."
