Rowing to Alaska: And Other True Stories Book
In Rowing to Alaska, Wayne McLennan tells the story of his utterly extraordinary life through a series of adventures. Desperate to avoid following his father and grandfather into the mines, he left his home town in Australia to become a professional boxer. Later, after stints as a goldminer in Costa Rica and a fishing boat skipper in Nicaragua, he made a grueling 6-month journey by rowboat along the 1,000 miles of coast from Seattle to Alaska. Along the way, he encounters compelling charactersmen who refuse to give in to the conformity and comforts of modern life, choosing instead lonely, often dangerous occupations. Writing with vivid directness, McLennanâ??s prose invites comparisons with Hemingwayonly everything Wayne McLennan tells us is true.Read More
