Lone Sailor (And Cats) In Apia
Lee Graham, the 16-year-old Californian schoolboy, who aims to become the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the world alone, reached Apia, Western Samoa, from Honolulu in late October in his 24 ft yacht Dove.
Dove came into port with a boom rigged as a temporary mast following a fierce squall 20 miles from Apia which snapped the regular mast and shrouds.
The squall was the only bad feature of Graham’s voyage from Honolulu which began on Sep tember 15 and included a stop at Fanning Island. Graham began his attempted circum navigation at San Pedro, Cali fornia, on August 18. His only companions are two cats, Suzette and Joliette (pictured).
