Three.

Three Solo Sailors: Zac Sunderland, 17. Mike Perham, 16. Saito, 75. Three Different Countries: USA, UK and Japan, Three Different Routes. Three Achieving the same dream.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to photograph and meet three extraordinary men this past weekend in Cape Town. The only one who had planned to stop here was Zac, that is why I am here. Mike and Saito had to stop to make repairs before heading back out to sea. Zac and Mike are currently trying to be the youngest to solo circumnavigate the world while Saito currently holds the record for the oldest person to solo circumnavigate the world. This is Saito's 8th time around the world. I have enjoyed chatting with Mike and his father Peter, they are wonderful people and have been very generous to me. Saito has a very warm and inviting smile and has been a wonderful person to chat with about his journey. Here is a look into three sailors following their dream.
