Sleeping on the ground, the pair encountered civil wars, riots, and wild animals while seeing the continents fascinating scenery and meeting its interesting peoples. In June 2010 Andy Larson embarked on another journey, this time sailing a 36 foot sailboat alone from Vancouver to Mexico, and then across the Pacific Ocean to Sydney Australia.

This is the story of how, in his late 70's, against the wishes of his friends and family, he embarked on a journey that would test his skills and his endurance, and convince him to set out on an even more dangerous and far reaching journey.
