Samenvatting

The thrilling story of Mick Dawson's most challenging rowing feats in the open ocean, culminating in his greatest achievement: rowing 7,000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean, from Japan to San Francisco.

On 8 May 2009 Mick Dawson and Chris Martin set off from Choshi in Japan to row 7,000 miles across the North Pacific to San Francisco . . . this is their story.

Crossing the North Pacific in an open rowing boat was one of the world's Last Great Firsts and, on his third attempt at this most challenging of all open-ocean rowing feats, Mick Dawson was determined to make it.

Storms, fatigue, equipment failure, intense hunger and lack of water are just a few of the challenges that he and fellow rower Chris Martin overcame during a back-breaking voyage of over six months. Finally, on 13 November, after 189 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes of rowing around the clock, facing the destruction of their small boat and near-certain death every mile of the way - they finally reached the iconic span of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.

In this nail-biting true story of man versus nature, former Royal Marine commando Dawson takes on first the Atlantic and ultimately the North Pacific. His thrilling account of this epic adventure details how he and Chris propelled their fragile craft, stroke by stroke, for thousands of miles across some of the most dangerous expanses of ocean in the world, overcoming failure, personal tragedy and everything that nature could throw at them along the way.
