Summary "To date, the historic ship Vega has sailed more than 100,000 miles, carrying tons of free training, tools, health supplies, and educational materials to remote island communities in eastern Indonesia and East Timor-places few outsiders will ever see. This is the story of Vega's first missions-a real-life sea tale complete with vicious storms, exotic locations, heart-rending moments, and priceless glimpses into real life on some of the world's most remote tropical islands"-- Provided by publisher.
