At just sixteen years old, Robin Lee Graham set sail from Los Angeles harbour aboard a 24-foot sloop named *Dove*, embarking on an extraordinary five-year solo circumnavigation of the globe that would capture the imagination of millions. Dove chronicles this remarkable true story of youth, courage, and self-discovery — a young man navigating not only treacherous oceans and crushing solitudes, but also the turbulent passage from adolescence into adulthood, finding love along the way in the most unexpected corners of the world. Graham's narrative is written with disarming honesty and vivid immediacy, pulling readers into the raw beauty of remote Pacific islands, the fury of open-sea storms, and the quiet epiphanies that only true solitude can produce. Originally serialised in *National Geographic*, this classic account of adventure and the human spirit stands as one of the most compelling true voyages ever recorded — a testament to the enduring allure of the open sea that will leave any reader longing to cast off their own lines and disappear over the horizon.
