The 145-day journey gave Angus, a trained biologist, a unique perspective on the ocean. The slow-moving boat became an ecosystem unto itself, attracting barnacles, dorado fish, trigger fish, turtles, sharks, whales, birds, and more, which she was able to observe and document.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Angus also saw unmistakable signs of the ocean’s devastation, with far more plastic bottles, wrappers, toys, and bags than sharks or other once-common sea life. Four cyclones, including two hurricanes, hammered the small boat so intensely that Angus and her companion weren't sure they would survive. \u003ci\u003eRowboat in a Hurricane\u003c\/i\u003e records this amazing journey in meticulous, dramatic detail, in the process offering a personal record of an awe-inspiring ecosystem, its fascinating denizens, and the mounting threats to its existence.","brand":"Greystone Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180261294320,"sku":"9781926812250","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781926812250_p0.jpg?v=1769896112","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781926812250","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
