About this listen

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.

I really enjoyed this. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Tony personally over the last couple of years, and he’s become a good friend of mine. He’s a true legend and an absolute crack-up — the kind of bloke who would give you the shirt off his back.

What I really loved about this story is that it’s not just about sailing. It’s about a man giving life one hell of a crack. It’s a captivating tale of adventure that, at times, paints a picture straight out of The Perfect Storm.

Good on you, Tony. Life passes you by whether you participate or not — and you’ve definitely chosen to participate.
