Great adventure story of courage and determination

From the desire to participate in a cross Atlantic rowing race to the actual row, this tale demonstrates the determination that it took to secure funding, find a suitable boat and actually complete this crazy adventure. From the first these novice rowers showed amazing courage in the face of opposition, physical challenges and the many difficulties along the way. The physical and mental courage and determination that it took to achieve their goal is inspirational. A great read.
