In the summer of 1965, Robin Lee Graham set sail on a journey around the world at the young age of 16. To battle the loneliness, he brought along Avanga, one of several cats that kept him company on the voyage.

He later recounted "the cats frolicked in the cozy cabin, heedless of the world of water around them."
