| Experience | Writer first, sea kayaker second, author of nine books. |
| Achievements | A six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council, "Antarctica 2008" was the final expedition in my OCEANS 8 project, which over the past decade has taken me and my teams literally around the world by sea kayak, including expeditions to the Aleutian Islands, Vietnam, French Polynesia, Chile/Argentina/Bolivia, Gabon, Croatia and Tasmania. Seeing the world from the seat of a sea kayak has given me a one-of-a-kind look at both the health of the world's oceans and the lives of the nearly 3 billion people around the globe who depend on them. |
| Biggest Adventure | Exploring Antarctica by sailboat and sea kayak. Highlights of the exploration were crashing icebergs and many indicators of the impacts of warming temperatures, discovery of an albino penguin, kayaking alongside breaching humpback whales and under both beautiful blue skies and torrential rains, past lots and lots of ice. |
