A 16-year-old has set out to become the youngest person to sail around the world alone. Abby Sunderland of Thousand Oaks, Calif., sailed into the sunny Pacific Ocean on Saturday. Her boat-builder father, Laurence, along with other family members and friends, cheered at the Del Rey Yacht Club as they watched the 40-foot craft called Wild Eyes depart. She plans to be at sea for five or six months. The current record holder is 17-year-old Mike Perham of Britain, who took the mark last year from Abby’s then-17-year-old brother, Zac.
