The most fascinating A B I've ever read was 'The Lonely Sea and the Sky' by SirFrancis Chichester.  This man was also an aviator who flew round the world in a battered Tiger Moth before sailing around it.  It's hard to believe some of the daring exploits some people have lived through and I found this book very hard to put down.

Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum is written in a very easy style and is part diary about being the first person to sail single-handedly around the world and part AB. 

Slocum ran away to the sea at 14 and ended up sailing with President Roosevelt.
