Abby Sunderland set sail to become the youngest person to travel across the globe in January 2010, when she was just 16-years-old. But unfortunately, she was hit by a storm five months that crippled her vessel in the Indian Ocean. After the incident, she lost contact with her family for almost a day and during that time, the yacht’s emergency beacons were activated.

Later, a plane from Perth spotted the teenager with her wracked boat and made contact with Abby Sunderland. Eventually, a French sailing vessel picked up Sunderland to Reunion Island, near Madagascar.
