In 1968, a race launched from the British Isles, a race to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe by themself. Nine people entered the race.

When it ended, one person had won, seven people had given up, and one person was never found again.

We're going to talk about the open ocean, the dangers of the route, and the toll that isolation and danger takes on the human psyche.
