This is the true story of a brave man who turned into the teeth of a hurricane to save the life of a fellow competitor in a single-handed round-the-world yacht race. Pete Goss scuppered his own chances in the race but achieved the near-impossible as he pulled the French sailor from his life raft. After four months of solitude at sea, Pete sailed back to a hero's welcome.
