Bryan Peterson points out features on the inflatable boat Sunrider,

in which he sailed around the world, to a crowd at Virginia Wesleyan

College. He spoke at the school Tuesday about his two-year trip in

the craft he created, which is powered by soybean oil and sunlight.

He is the first person to sail around the world in an inflatable

boat.
