DescriptionJason Lewis - Dark Waters  What an interesting story - and so well written! It's almost as if this guy pedaled a boat across the Atlantic Ocean by accident which makes him incredibly stupid, lucky, brilliantly talented, ridiculously naive, or a combination of the above. It's like when your friend says, hey, let's go camping and you've never been, have no gear, and are woefully unprepared but you say yes and somehow you figure it out - but this is so much more than camping. Your friend says hey, let's circumnavigate the globe under our own power so you say ok, and you jump into the drink and somehow stay alive and develop the skills you need as you go. I've read many adventure books from shooting the Boh River to Shackleton's Endurance, Roosevelt's trip up the River of Doubt, just about everything in the far north, all the Everest expeditions, Rescue in the Pacific about a Force 12 storm, Adrift - 76 days at sea, but I've never read anything so crazily planned, executed and oddly compelling, told so matter-of-factly with such dry wit. My only critique is that I want more - I wish it was all in one book because now I have to wait for part two and three. I do recommend this book as a not only a good real-life adventure but also as a jump-starter for thinking about our place on the planet and how we structure our lives. The thing about real life, life-on-the-line adventures is that it makes us deal with needs versus wants and our relationships with each other as well as our environments. So like Shrek and Donkey said, there's layers, like onions, or parfaits. Publisher: BillyFish Books LLC (July 14, 2012) Language: English ISBN-10: 0984915508 ISBN-13: 9780984915507 Sharing Widget |
