‘I’m going to say sorry to the whales’ - a podcast by BBC World Service

talian Fishmonger Vittorio Fabris was inspired to sail from Venice to Nantucket by his favourite book, Moby Dick. But his epic voyage didn’t exactly go to plan. He faced storms and seriously damaged his boat along the way, keeping himself going with the company of music and dolphins. With his destination in sight, disaster struck - but Vittorio wouldn't give up on his dream. He tells Jo Fidgen his story.
