Journey of a Hope Merchant: From Apartheid to the Elite World of Solo Racing

Born physically disabled and impoverished in apartheid-era South Africa, Peterson was introduced to healing and equality in the waters surround Cape Town. Here he recounts the epic journey that took this misfit kid from a racially segregated, working-class neighbourhood to the prestigious world of solo yacht racing. He describes rounding Cape Horn, surviving near-fatal accidents, killer storms, and a mid-Atlantic collision, capsizing in the Roaring Forties, and overcoming loneliness, continual financial difficulties, and adversity at every turn.
