Five years ago, British recreational sailor Jeanne Socrates went down in the history books: She became the oldest woman to travel around the world alone and without interruption on a sailboat. Now, at the age of 81, she is traveling around the world for the fifth time. Currently she is anchored off New Zealand with her boat.
