The Eighth Summit

"A teacher in East London [South Africa] with a fondness for the ocean, Peter was given a rare chance to compete in the 2007 Atlantic Rowing Race. His decision to grasp this opportunity would change his life. Together with Bill Godfery, he rowed across the Atlantic ... Then he came back two years later to row it alone ... After that he joined forces with adventure runner B raam Malherbe to represent South Africa in the unique Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole ... Peter's feats of endurance ... are testament to the power of the human spirit and the greatness possible when an ordinary person sets out to do extraordinary things ... [Peter] has come to understand what it takes to conquer the limits of your mind - to conquer your Eight Summit"--Publisher's description.
