Karen Thorndike
Karen Thorndike, born in Snohomish, Washington in 1942, was the first American woman to sail solo around the world (not counting Tania Aebi), a voyage of 33,000 miles, which she completed in 1998 in a 36-foot yacht named ''Amelia'' after Amelia Earhart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CNN – U.S. woman makes history by sailing globe solo – August 19, 1998 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Karen Thorndike Summary )〕 The trip took her two years and two weeks, but was not done continuously; for example, she had a three-month hospitalization for angina pectoris after her trip began.〔 Her interest in sailing began in the early 1980s.〔()〕 Thorndike took some sailing lessons, began racing and was soon delivering boats from Hawaii to Seattle.〔 During one of those trips, her dream of circumnavigating began to take shape.〔 However, when she confided in a crew member and friend about her plans, he told her, “That’s impossible. You have no idea what you’d be getting yourself into.”〔 After that, Thorndike kept her plans to herself until she bought her boat.〔
During her around-the-world trip she also sailed around the five great capes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Going to Sea – The Sant Ocean Hall Changing Exhibit Gallery )〕 Due to her achievement she was interviewed for the book ''The Heart of Success: Conversations with Notable Achievers'' by Dan G. Tripps. She also received a Guinness World Records certificate acknowledging her accomplishment.〔
