Setting off from Dartmouth, England, she completed her remarkable journey in 272 days aboard her 53-foot yacht, "Express Crusader." James' voyage was not just a testament to her sailing prowess but also broke the previous record for the fastest solo circumnavigation by a woman. Her achievement was a significant milestone in maritime history, inspiring countless other female sailors to undertake similar challenges. James' journey is documented in her book "Alone Around the World," which details the trials, tribulations, and triumphs she faced during her groundbreaking voyage

- Description: In 2011, after covering 60'000 km across 3 continents and 38 countries in 14 months, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest journey by quad bike (four-wheeled motorcycles), two Australians crossed the finish line in Sydney, in tribute to their teammate who tragically died mid-journey. Jamie Kenyon, 25, and Kristopher Teddy Davant, 27, known as the "Expedition Quad Squad," crossed the bay bridge on their vehicles, escorted by police and hundreds of motorcyclists, in the final leg of a journey that began in Istanbul. The duo had almost given up after the death of their companion, 24-year-old Italian Valerio De Simoni, whose bike was struck by an out-of-control car in Malawi. In addition to breaking the previous record of 27'141 km, the Quad Squad used their adventure to support the NGO Oxfam and raised the equivalent of about 40'000 euros for the fight against poverty
