The story of Sir Francis Chichester
"I think that to have a really exciting project, and to be able to carry it out, is the most wonderful thing you can have in life."
These words were spoken by Sir Francis Chichester himself, the man who circled the world twice, once by air and once by sea, and in doing so became a hero - and a legend.
