Sailing upon the high seas is a dangerous but thrilling adventure for the sailor. The sea itself presents one and their vessel with enough potential threat, but there is another terror at sea everyone wishes to avoid - pirates.
For centuries pirates have threatened many ships and captured and killed many crew members. The ancient threat of pirates terrorizing the men and woman who sailed the high seas still remains to be a modern-day fear.
For some their means of travel in the high seas is by their own man-power rather than by sails gracing them with endless fuel. One such adventurer plans to hopefully avoid the pirates as he travels in a 26' man-powered pedal boat! The 38 year old Jason Lewis is confident that the pirates will leave his small craft alone as he peddles 1800 miles. For his sake I certainly hope he is right!
Treasure!
