Bird on his
26,000-mile voyage around the world aboard his boat
Reach. Follow along through his daily reports as he
rides out 35-foot waves in the Coral Sea, gets hunting
bows pointed at him from Solomon Island tribesmen, and
loses a paddling race with a sea turtle on the equator.

The
nature of the expedition precludes much direct
interaction with the explorers; however,
teachers can track this adventure online, e-mail
the participants, and get great ideas for lesson
plans. | |
