Show Notes

Captain Bill Pinkney is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate his inspiring book Sailing Commitment. Captain Bill is one of less than 100 people, and the first Black man, who have circumnavigated the World in a sailboat. And he did the hard way, traveling around the treacherous Cape Horn. Captain Bill tells us of his adventure, what inspired it, how he found the courage, and funding, to undertake such a journey. He also tells us of spending 65 days sailing in the Pacific from South America to South Africa, seeing nothing but ocean, sky and an occasional bird. He explains that it was reading that helped him survive that incredibly lonely stretch.
