Hear a truly inspirational speech from Pete Goss MBE. It’s a great story; during the yacht race Pete ended up rescuing a Frenchman deep in the southern ocean on Christmas day and a month later had to operate on himself in the Pacific Ocean. It’s interesting, funny, moving and very motivational. Pete loves what he does and looks forward to sharing one of his favourite adventures with you. (Please note this is an additional cost)
