The story of an amazing boat and even more amazing man's mission to educate and inspire people to love and care for our endangered global environment. Packed with fascinating facts, insights and stunning photography, this book is especially poignant due to Blake's untimely death at the hands of Amazonian pirates and is a beautiful legacy that will hopefully keep Blake's hugely important mission alive.
