SOME stories just make you appreciate the comfort of a cruise ship even more.
John Martin III set sail on his small dinghy earlier this year from Anchorage, Alaska, bound for mainland China.
His plan was to sail down the Yukon River and across the Bering Sea before hugging the Asian coastline until he was near a sliver of Chinese territory between Russia & North Korea.
