PARIS – Theirs is an
epic tale of resilience and pluck, a seafarer's yarn of high-seas adventure that
has seen them brave some of the world's wildest waters in their 11-year odyssey
from the Pacific Ocean toward landfall in Europe. They have bobbed through storms
that would have wrecked larger vessels, to drift deliberately down the Bering

to float freely into the Atlantic. Click
