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 leant 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.Tony Mowbray.
