Thousands of sailors have realised their dreams with his help, whether through his books or his rallies like the ARC. Unstoppable he goes his way. His latest project is the “Blue Planet Odyssey” where bluewater sailors are traveling together, help each other and raise awareness of the global effects of climate change and the state of the ocean.
