Bernard Moitessier is my hero! A true sailor, in it like the majority of us strictly for the love of the sea and the freedom of a small boat on a big ocean.
He sailed around the world in the Golden Globe race and was winning but decided to just keep on going instead of collecting his prize. He did this for his own personal growth. And according to him perhaps to "save his soul"
