This is the amazing story of Sharon Sites Adams. Shortly after learning how to sail in her mid-thirties, Sharon became the first woman to sail across the Pacific alone. First, she sailed single-handed from California to Hawaii in a 25′ folkboat, SEA SHARP in 1965. Four years later, she singlehanded from Japan to California in a Mariner 31, SEA SHARP II, and made landfall 45 minutes after Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon in 1969.
