NEVER, EVER GIVE IN!

I would like to take you on a journey. It’s going to be a journey across many oceans, over a lot of water but very much a journey of the human spirit.

This is not a sailing story.

It’s much more than that.

My seven crew and I participated in the fatal 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race in which 6 men tragically died, 55 were rescued and a number of boats sank.

On our boat, for 15 hours, we thought that we had found out how we were going to die. By a slim margin, we managed to survive that incredible cornerstone event in each of our lives.

1 year and 10 months later, my yacht, “Solo Globe Challenger", had been rebuilt and in October 2000 I headed back to sea in an attempt to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world.

Over the years, I’ve had more than my fair share of harrowing near death situations.

I’ve learnt a lot about myself and what makes me tick.

I first thought of writing this book more than 25 years ago and now it is finally done!

I’ve put my heart and soul into every page.

I hope you enjoy it.
