No - they are true stories
From canoes and small sailboats to a pair of strap-to-your-feet pontoons, the watercraft in these true stories make nearly as varied a collection as the mariners who piloted them. The intrepid seafarers and their feats of seamanship include:
*Ed Gillet's kite-powered transpacific kayak voyage
*Gladys Gradely's 1902 quest to become the first woman to solo the Atlantic
*Ben Lecomte's swim across an ocean for love
*Hugo Vihlen's 1968 ocean crossing in the 6-foot sailboat April Fool
*Peter Bird's tragic attempt to row across the Pacific
*And scores more
