Über diesen Titel
A man and his chicken sail 45,000 nautical miles in this powerful story of following your dreams no matter what stands in your way.
When Guirec Soudée 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 and Monique made for Greenland - and emerged from the pack ice 100 days later.
Their next goal? San Francisco. Then, Antarctica. But first, could they navigate the treacherous Northwest Passage? One thing was for sure: Monique would help her trusty skipper by laying an egg!
- Heart-stopping adventure story: Navigating treacherous icebergs with a chicken on the mast is just one of many nail-biting maneuvers from this action-packed book.
- Perfect for fans of The Art of Racing in the Rain: Guirec and Monique’s bond is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
- Inspirational: Guirec shows that all you have to do is believe to achieve something big.
Guirec and Monique’s unbelievable journey won the hearts of people all over the world and caused a social media frenzy when it happened. Now, in listening to their long-awaited first book, audiences will uncover their gripping voyage from start to finish.

Kritikerstimmen
“Guirec's amazing adventures and heartwarming relationship with Monique remind us of how much there is to gain when we extend our reverence for life beyond just humans.” (Captain Liz Clark, author of Swell: A Sailing Surfer’s Voyage of Awakening)
“Soudée’s deeply adventurous spirit finds a home at sea. From Arctic pack ice to the Roaring Forties, this young man and his chicken show the world what’s possible with a little boat and a big dream.” (Caroline Van Hemert, author of The Sun is a Compass)
“Guirec Soudée’s page-turning tale of his round-the-world ocean adventure is a delight. Setting off with no solo sailing experience whatsoever, he learns by doing - crossing the Atlantic, overwintering alone in Greenland’s profound pack ice, then sailing the length of the Pacific to survive raging storms and rogue icebergs in Antarctica. Add Monique, his unlikely but charming feathered first mate, and you’re reminded that our dreams are in fact possible if we dare to risk following them.” (Kim Brown Seely, author of Uncharted)

Wonderful listen
I love chickens, had them when we used to live in NZ. So the cover is what drew me to this tale. I listened to this book in the Dutch autumn, rain streaming down my face during my daily walks but I counted myself lucky as I listened to Guirec and Mono facing icebergs approaching, the roaring whatevers when the boat was more like a submarine and then there they are, giving surfing lessons on an idyllic island in the tropics. This book is amazing and inspiring. Follow your own heart, it doesn't have to be sailing. Love it.
