I just finished the book Rowing the Atlantic by Roz Savage about her 3000-mile voyage in a 24-foot long ocean-going rowboat. I bought this book yesterday afternoon and finished its two-hundred forty-two pages just about twenty minutes ago. This is an exciting, humorous and insightful memoir of her adventure from the Canary Islands all the way to Antigua.

The author had some harrowing moments. Everything from gear loss, equipment failures, communications loss, rogue waves and the physical pains of the enduring effort to paddle her boat twelve to sixteen hours per day to stay on course and make her goal.

If you are an adventure seeker, you will enjoy the read. Spoiler alert: She closes out the book by telling you she is writing the final portion of the book while she is about one-third of the way through an 8000-mile trans-Pacific paddle and, if what I read online is correct, I think she has successfully crossed three oceans at the time of publication. I fully expect Paddling the Pacific to be coming out soon.

Roz is an amazing motivation and her book is quite enjoyable to read. Happy travels to you, Roz. I look forward to reading about them all.
