For more than seventy days, Adam Rackley and his rowing partner ate, slept and rowed in a boat seven meters long by two meters wide, in one of the world’s most extreme environments. This is his story of adventure, endurance, and self-discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey were following in the wake of pioneers. In 1896 George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen, 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, a gambler, and a shark hunter, was the first to complete the feat singlehandedly in 1969. Others have followed; some have not survived the attempt. This is their story, too.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111890927856,"sku":"9780698170636","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780698170636_p0.jpg?v=1763620227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780698170636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
