Dedicated to:
My parents - John and Elisapeta Tucker. Inner strength from them meant I could take on the world - and so I did. Thank you for the love and support, mum and dad. They deserve the world, and with as much of it as I can give, I want to honour them with this circumnavigation of our world.
