Clean dust jacket is unchipped, unclipped; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. On May 31, 2009, a small group of sailors set out to circumnavigate both North and South America--the first time it had ever been done. After one year, 25,000 nautical miles, and 50 port calls in 13 countries, they returned with this amazing story. Along the way, the crew studied the waters, took thousands of photographs, and met a cast of fascinating characters. Read this book as an epic adventure, a historic seafaring tale, and a call to action for everyone who loves this planet. Book size approx. 10" x 11.5". .
