In 1991, Keith White was at the Centre of a 14-vehicle pile-up when a truck crossed the central reservation and hit the van in which he was a passenger. White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years.

His pilot license was removed and he could no longer follow his passion for diving. But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand.” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.”

Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (環(huán)航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe.

Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船運(yùn)動(dòng)員) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds.

When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over—there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.”
