There are journeys that change a life. And there are lives that become a journey.

All the Seas of the World — Between Icebergs and Corals is the true story of Luis Manuel Pinho — a nomadic navigator, engineer, and builder of his own sailboats — who chose the ocean when the world offered safety, and the horizon when others chose the harbor.

For over 30 years, Luis sailed his own sailboats across the most challenging and beautiful seas on the planet. The Green Nomad I and the Green Nomad II, built with his own hands.

The Teresa, named after her mother — the emotional anchor of a life in perpetual motion. In these pages you will find the Atlantic and the Pacific, the icy seas of Antarctica and the coral atolls of Polynesia. You will feel the cold of the icebergs and the warmth of the sun on deck.

You will experience the moment when whale hunters crossed your path — and understand what it means not to back down.

Luis Manuel Pinho went beyond the pages of the book and reached TV and movie screens as a ship commander for Sea Shepherd — an internationally recognized marine conservation NGO — Luis participated in the Hollywood documentary "Defend, Protect, Conserve" and the series "Whale Wars," shown on Animal Planet on the Discovery Channel and watched by millions of people worldwide.

Few seafaring histories have this scope.

Few lives have this density.

It's not just a navigation book.

It's a meditation on courage, loss, passion, and the radical freedom of someone who rejected ordinary financial security to find their place in the world—in the middle of the ocean, among icebergs and coral reefs. For those who have dreamed of leaving everything behind and setting sail. For those who know that the sea calls—and that one day it will answer.
