From defying his millionaire father to racing in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, Peter Warner lived a life that refused to follow the map. His life reads like fiction - except every word is true.
In this episode, we follow the remarkable journey of the man who rescued six Tongan boys from the island of ‘Ata - a story that made headlines around the world.
But that was just one part of a life spent chasing purpose across oceans, through storms, and into places most people would never go.
Join us as we trace the wake of a quiet adventurer who kept turning up in the right place at exactly the right time.
