David Lewis

David Lewis, a New Zealander of Welsh and Irish descent, was drawn to the sea from an early age. He has made three solo Atlantic crossings, and became the first navigator in modern times to cross the Pacific without instruments, using only the sun and stars to steer by. A doctor and an anthropologist, he has published twelve books, including We, the Navigators.
