Neal Petersen takes you on a personal journey and shows you by example: There are No Barriers – Only Solutions!

Award-winning author and extreme adventurer, Neal Petersen, completed two amazing journeys in his life: a single-handed yacht race around the world—27,000 miles, nine months at sea, alone, in a small yacht he designed and built himself—and an even more arduous challenge—overcoming racial prejudice during the Apartheid era in South Africa. Neal battled a childhood physical disability and poverty, just to make it to the starting line!

Navigate forward. Manage wind shifts and sudden storms. Conquer fear and isolation while dealing with a changing world.
