About this title

Synopsis

Traces the 2003 journey of Maud Fontenoy, who crossed the Atlantic in a twenty-four-foot-long boat over the course of 117 days, an accomplishment that was challenged by such difficulties as near-freezing water, exhaustion from long hours of rowing, circling sharks, dangerous weather conditions, and dozens of capsizings. 12,500 first printing.
