Publisher's Summary
Fewer people have rowed across the Atlantic Ocean than have climbed
Mount Everest. Adam Rackley is among them. For 70 days, he and his rowing
partner ate, slept, and rowed in a boat seven meters long and two meters
wide, in one of the world's most extreme environments. This is his story
of adventure, endurance, and self-discovery. They were following in
the wake of pioneers.
In 1896, a pair of Norwegian fisherman crossed the 2,500 miles in a
wooden fishing dory - and their record stood for 114 years. John Fairfax,
a smuggler, gambler, and shark hunter, was the first to complete the
feat single-handedly in 1969. Others have followed; some have not survived
the attempt. This is their story, too.
What the Critics Say
"Incredible true stories from the limits of endurance, written by a
man who's been there." (Sir Ranulph Fiennes, author and adventurer)
