Storms, fatigue, equipment failure, intense hunger, and lack of
water are just a few of the challenges that ocean rower Mick Dawson
endured whilst attempting to complete one of the World's 'Last
Great Firsts'. In this nail-biting true story of man versus nature,
former Royal Marine commando Dawson, a Guinness World Record-holder
for ocean-rowing and high-seas adventurer takes on the Atlantic and
ultimately the North Pacific. It took Dawson three attempts and a
back-breaking voyage of over six months to finally cross the mighty
North Pacific for the first time. Dawson and his rowing partner
Chris Martin spent 189 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes rowing around
the clock, facing the destruction of their small boat and
near-certain death every mile of the way, before finally reaching
the iconic span of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Dawson's
thrilling account of his 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,
overcoming failure, personal tragedy and everything that nature
could throw at him along the way.
