Emily Richmond, a woman in her early thirties, has set on a solo trail to sail across the world. She took out her boat “bobbie” almost seven years ago from the Los Angeles coast, making her way through Mexico, Costa Rica, New Guinea, Sri Lanka. She is not on a fixed schedule, and chooses to stay for short to long durations at places she likes. She considers her world tour not as one long journey, but as small short trips going on for years. She stops where she likes, and then decides on her future course. 

On the other hand, Laura Dekker became the youngest woman ever to sail across the world in just two years. The Dutch girl started from Portugal, went across Panama, to Indonesia and across Africa to Australia. She scheduled about twenty six stops along her journey.
