When I saw the plane, I was absolutely astonished! Two emotions crashed over me: surging joy and crazy fear.

When a sailor overcomes crushing adversity, there's a massive sense of accomplishment.

I had begun to think that dreams are meant to be no more than dreams and that in reality dreams don't come true. Then my brother (Zac) left on his trip. It was amazing to see all the support that he got from around the world and to see how everyone worked together to help make his dream reality. Watching him do this really made me believe that I could too.

Terror ripped through me as I was falling, falling, falling toward the sea.

On June 10, the worst storm in the series swept across the middle of the Indian Ocean and Wild Eyes was directly in its path.

The things that happen on the sea take you beyond yourself, beyond human capability.

I am twelve thousand miles wiser, twelve thousand miles more resilient, and I have twelve thousand miles more faith in God.
