Synopsis
On a sweltering summer day in 2010, Christine Warren stepped into a 24-foot canoe and paddled toward a goal that she never previously imagined possible. The Texas Water Safari is a 260-mile paddle race from the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf Coast. Run continuously since 1963, the course follows the San Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers to the coastal fishing town of Seadrift. Paddlers must complete the race in 100 hours.

About the Author
Christine grew up in Texas and Tennessee before attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduating in 1993 with a degree in English, she worked for fourteen years in marketing and advertising. In 2007 she left corporate life to explore a growing passion for writing and fly fishing. When her fishing friends introduced her to the Texas Water Safari, she recognized it as a life-altering challenge that she couldn't resist. With her husband and daughter, she splits time between Austin, Texas and Mobile, Alabama. To follow her writing and speaking engagements on fish, rivers, and brazen leaps of faith, visit Christine s website at FlyFishChick.com.
