A wonderful story and beautifully told.

I'm guessing The Cook Straight to be the most challenging. I know most of these passages and some I would be challenged to sail across. What an accomplishment, sir...

[@KDoc1951]

A great story and an amazing man.

I was on an airplane a few years ago and this was one of the documentaries to watch. I genuinely watched it twice on the flight as I thought it was beyond incredible. I’m glad that I’ve found this as I will go and find the doc again.
