Biography
After being selected out of over 15,000 entrants and a gruelling boot camp elimination process, Fanafikile Lephakha has been granted the opportunity to join South African explorer Riaan Manser as he rows across the Atlantic Ocean.
According to his bio: "Riaan Manser rose to prominence on becoming the first person to cycle around the perimeter of Africa. For over twenty-four months, alone & unaided, he pedalled a staggering 37,000 km through 34 countries, some of which rank as the most dangerous countries on Earth."
He was also the first person to circumnavigate Madagascar by kayak - alone and unaided.

RUNABOUT PEDAL BOAT
NAVY WITH MAHOGANY DECK $ 25,000.00
Inspired by mid-20th Century wooden crafts, this pedal boat from Beau Lake adds a luxurious look and feel to a historically dull market. The self-draining boat's molded fiberglass tunnel hull's design was created with help from a designer of America's Cup boats, with an inlaid veneer deck and a stainless steel driveshaft that quietly transfers pedal energy into propeller movement. A huge upgrade from the injection-molded plastic pedal boats we're all used to seeing, Beau Lake's boat is finished with one-inch thick leather seat covers and a compartmentalized cooler that contours to the boat.
