"Flight of Passage"

I previously have mentioned "Flight of Passage", a great true story of two teenaged brothers who restored and then flew a 1940s Piper Cub from coast to coast in 1966.

Here's a similar story circa 2008-a 16 year old guy who's sailing the Pacific Ocean. His 14 year old sister is "very jealous".
