In August 2009, Laura Dekker announced her plan for a two-year solo sailing voyage around the globe in the Dutch national newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad.
Laura Dekker successfully completed the solo circumnavigation on "Guppy," her 11.5-metre two-masted ketch, arriving in Simpson Bay, Saint Maarten, on 21 January 2012.
The sequences at sea were filmed by Laura herself.
