Looking for adventure

Patrick Jones was twenty-seven when he set off from New York to sail around the world alone. Here are some of the entries from the diary he wrote during his journey.
12th May
I left for Bermuda as planned. I’ve been missing home since I left. I won’t see my friends and family again for many months. (And to be honest, I’m really frightened of travelling by myself.)
26th May
It’s been two weeks since I started and I’ve just arrived in Bermuda. I got lost a couple of times on the way here, which was really worrying.
28th February
The storms and powerful seas nearly destroyed my boat this morning. For the last two months, I’ve also been using equipment that isn’t working properly.
25th September
An enormous oil tanker almost crashed into my boat this morning. It has been one of the most terrifying days of my life.
