In 1978, Poland’s Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz became the first woman to sail around the world solo. In the two years that it took her to achieve this feat, she discovered some of the globe’s most beautiful gems, like Tahiti or the Canary Islands.

@neauoire That’s a lovely old comms panel. A real boat anchor rig. That boat is quite the Sputnik setup too.

@neauoire I love the metal-clad Sailor RT unit, the sort of thing you'd find in a small freighter!
