AustraliaRob Donald, a 59-year-old experienced sailor, and his 19-year-old daughter Freya embarked on an ambitious sailing journey from Newcastle, Australia, to Norway aboard a 9.8-meter wooden yacht named Misha, which Donald purchased in France in 1988. The voyage began in March 2025 and covered over 18,000 nautical miles. Donald faced challenges such as health issues, including a diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer, which required treatment and delayed parts of the trip. Despite these obstacles, he and Freya continued their journey, aiming to return Misha to the Netherlands, where it was originally built, before heading to Norway. Freya joined her father on the trip to prove she could endure the voyage longer than a week, despite the difficulties of living on a small boat.
