After recovering from the tragedy, Ann worked as a successful writer and waited for a chance to sail again. She became more determined to complete the challenge of a lifetime. She bought a small boat "Felicity Ann" (FA) and spent two years preparing it and teaching herself to sail. On 18 May 1952, she departed from Plymouth. She was still relatively inexperienced, but she made up for lack of experience with bravery.

With her strength of character, Ann and ‘FA’ got through days of severe storms and loneliness. Ann Davison finally reached land in Dominica on 23 January 1953, becoming the first woman to sail solo across the Atlantic.
