Summary:
"There's nothing that twenty-one-year-old Guirec Soudée wants more than to sail around the world. Craving adventure and despite his lack of sailing experience
--
he buys a used sailboat and heads off acrosss the Atlantic Ocean, with only a plucky copper-colored hen named Monique for company and (hopefully) eggs. And so begins an epic seafaring odyssey that takes Guirec and Monique from western Europe to the tropical waters of the Caribbean, up to the frigid pack ice of Greenland, along the beautiful coastlines of Alaska, Vancouver Island, and California, down to the extreme conditions of Antarctica, and back home
--
a journey of over 45,000 nautical miles. From teaching windsurfing in St. Barts to a difficult run-in with Canadian customs officers in Nunavut, from incredible encounters with penguins and polar bears to elemental battles for survival through unexpected storms, Guirec and Monique face every wonder and obstacle with head strong determination, and without getting their wings caught in a flap. Guirec and Moniques's travels have won the hearts of people all over the world. Their unbelievable journey is the rollicking story of an unlikely duo facing life's biggest challenges

and discovering the joy that comes from pursuing your dreams."--From publisher.
