Around the world on soybean power. Does anyone know this boat?

[Oeanda]

Many years ago now (about 30 years now already, wow…) I listened to a very interesting radio interview with a fellow who circumnavigated in a boat powered by soybean oil. He had some interesting stories and said he was planning to write a book about the experience. I never was able to find his story online, or his book if he did indeed write it. I also forgot his name after the interview. Something like Peterson I believe. From time to time it crosses my mind. This would be the place to ask. Does anyone know of the guy I mean? Thanks!
