Robin Lee Graham (born March 5, 1949) is an American sailor who became a global sensation after embarking on a solo sailing journey around the world at the age of 16 in 1965. Starting from California, Graham sailed his 24-foot sloop, Dove, to Hawaii on July 21, marking the beginning of a remarkable adventure. Throughout his nearly five-year journey, Graham was accompanied by several feline companions, beginning with two kittens, Joliette and Suzette, and later Kili, Pooh, and Piglet. Along the way, he met and married Patti Ratterree, and after completing his voyage in Los Angeles, the couple briefly attended Stanford University before settling in Montana. His story remains an inspiring tale of courage and determination.
