Alone, Cole Brauer braved three oceans and the elements as she navigated her sailboat for months.
Friday, March 8, 2024 4:07PMOne New York native just made history as she sailed by herself across the world.
While Brauer is the first American woman to circumnavigate the globe alone by sea, she is not first woman to do so. Polish sailor Krystina Chojnowska-Liskiewicz finished her 401-day voyage around the globe on April 21, 1978, according to online sailing sites. "I haven't really had the bandwidth to get into everything that's been going on the past 48 hours, but the short version is the autopilot has been acting up again and I needed to replace some parts and do a rudder recalibration," she wrote. "For once the light air is actually helping, but it's been exhausting, and I'm sore and tired."
