Jeanne Socrates, 77, sails around the world alone, non-stop and unassisted

British sailor Jeanne Socrates was 77-years-old when she sailed around the world alone, unassisted and non-stop, becoming the oldest person to do so.
Although her accomplishment in 2019 already has been eclipsed by 81-year-old Australian Bill Hatfield, these two sailors provide inspiration for all those beyond "retirement" who may feel age is a hindrance to living fully.
Here's my story about Socrates, published in the February issue of SAILING Magazine.
