A human powered adventure across the Western Hemisphere
Is Stevie Smith's account of a journey that has been labelled "The Last Great First"
Despite having little experience of travelling, or of the sea,
And having no money to fund this hugely ambitious goal,
Stevie and his friend Jason manage to:
Cycle down through Europe.
Then cycle and skate across America.
Across the Atlantic Ocean in an ocean-going pedal boat. Taking 111 days to pedal the 7,500 km to Miami.
And pedal 3,500 km across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii.
