Sailor, a Chicken, an Incredible Voyage

A man and his chicken sail 45,000 nautical miles in this heartwarming story of following your dreams no matter what stands in your way. When Guirec Soudee was 21 years old, he bought a 30-foot sailboat and set out across the Atlantic, despite having only sailed a dinghy before. His only companion? His plucky pet hen, Monique. Guirec never intended to sail the world with a chicken, but after reaching the Caribbean, he made for Greenland and--more than 100 days later--emerged from the pack ice to navigate the treacherous Northwest Passage, sailing from Nunavut to San Francisco. Their next goal? Antarctica--but could they make it around Cape Horn? One thing was for sure: Monique would support her trusty skipper with an egg every day. Guirec and Monique's unbelievable journey won the hearts of people all over the world. Now, in their long-awaited book, readers will uncover their gripping voyage from start to finish, complete with maps and photographs of Guirec with Monique at his side, her feathers ruffling in the wind.
