The Sheila in Wind: A Solitary Sailor's Journey

On August 20, 1950, Adrian Hayter set sail alone from Southampton (England) to New Zealand, his homeland, in a 9.75-meter-long boat. He traveled the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, the seas of Insulindia, bordered Australia, crossed the Tasman Sea and arrived after almost six years in Nelson, New Zealand. For more than five years he alternated navigation bristling with dangers with life on land where he worked many times to be able to continue his journey.
