About this Item

Signed. First Edition. Signed by Chay Blyth. First Edition. *A Fighting Chance* by Captain John Ridgway and Chay Blyth is the gripping first-hand account of one of the greatest feats of endurance in modern exploration. In the summer of 1966, the two former British paratroopers set out from Cape Cod in a 20-foot open rowing boat, determined to cross the Atlantic without sail or engine. Battling hurricanes, towering seas, exhaustion and isolation, they completed the 3,000-mile voyage in an astonishing **92 days**, proving that courage, determination and teamwork could overcome seemingly impossible odds. Illustrated with photographs, maps and extracts from their logbooks, this remarkable narrative remains a classic of adventure and maritime exploration. An excellent addition for readers and collectors of exploration, maritime history, endurance adventures and true-life survival stories. First Edition SIGNED COPY.
