"I believe that it's our duty to reach as far as we can reach, to extend the edge of our capabilities in some way no matter the cost." Dodge Morgan
The inspiring adventure story of Dodge Morgan, the first American to sail solo, non-stop around the world. Morgan, a successful businessman, had made a promise to himself. One day he would attempt what few others have dared: to sail around the world without stopping and alone. Using automatic cameras, he films his own at-sea journey aboard his specially designed boat, American Promise.
The viewer is his only confidante as he confronts his fears and copes with loneliness, gear failures, fierce gales, the mountainous seas of the Southern Ocean, the frustrating days of no wind and no progress. Totally isolated and dependent on himself for survival, he is forced to find new emotional strength to persevere.
Dodge Morgan's determination brings him home victorious after 150 days at sea, shattering previous records for solo circumnavigation.
As seen on PBS Adventure.
