Outback Mike Survival and Adventure Podcast

Lisa sailed solo around Antarctica (twice!). The third person ever to have done it, and the first woman, she broke the world speed record on the second attempt. Narrowly escaping death during a complete dismasting she was impacted by the ship that came to her aid and survived countless rollovers and knock-downs on the planets roughest ocean (even during winter months when it's at its worst!).

She shares her epic struggles and how she managed to survive.
