Summary

Beating the Blowfish is Emma Pontin's inspirational and candid account of her experience fighting breast cancer, and the understanding and strength she gained from sailing.

Author Biography

At age 32 and tired of her banking job, adventurous Emma Pontin completed her first ocean crossing. She then joined Sir Chay Blyth's Challenge Business as a professional sailor, racing and touring Europe and the Caribbean. With six years sailing experience and 70,000 nautical miles under her belt--including 15 transatlantic crossings, the Sydney-Hobart yacht race, the Newport to Bermuda yacht race and the infamous Fastnet Race--Emma's next big challenge is a full circumnavigation with a novice sailing team made up of breast cancer survivors.
