Mike Perham is a young 17 year old British sailor that is very close to completing his solo circumnavigation of the world, only 20 days left until he returns!
Mike is not only out there having the adventure of a lifetime, but he's also raising money for charity. We took this off his site: "Mike is hoping to raise £24,000 (£1 for each mile travelled) for charities with his trip through fundraising. The money will be donated to two charities close to Mike´s heart: Save the Children, and the Tall Ships Youth Trust, which gives deprived children in cities a chance to experience sailing." ©Sailmike2009
It's an amazing achievement for such a young sailor. Zac Sunderland and Mike Perham are an incredible inspiration to us all. They are really living the ultimate sailing dream. There are so few sailors that have successfully completed a solo circumnavigation, let alone done it as teenagers! It is really incredible.
You can follow Mike on Twitter @PerhamMIKE or check out his website for his regular blog updates, photos, and Youtube video gallery. Mike's video gallery is the best, his videos are really interesting, and help you understand exactly what his journey has been like. Check out the Panama Video Blog taken from up the mast of his boat, Totallymoney. It really does give you a bird's eye view!
