Some adventures refuse to wait for retirement. A 70-year-old grandfather from Ireland is preparing to become the first Irish sailor to complete the Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop 30,000-nautical-mile voyage widely regarded as one of the toughest sailing challenges on Earth. After retiring from the 2022 race because of an autopilot failure while running in third place, Pat Lawless is returning with a better-prepared yacht, hoping not only to finish but also to raise €50,000 for Parkinson's Ireland, a cause close to his family. Sometimes the greatest journeys are driven as much by determination on shore as by courage at sea.
