Back in June 1966, two British Army paratroopers, Captain John Ridgway and Sergeant Chay Blyth, embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. To row from Orleans, Cape Cod across the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland in nothing more than a 20ft dory named English Rose III. A journey of over 3,000 miles, they survived a hurricane, storms, starvation, injury, sickness, risked shark attacks or being mown down by passing ships unaware of their tiny craft.
'A Fighting Chance' is their story. A tale of courage, fear and the sheer determination to survive and win, the ever present threat of death never more than inches away.
This is the sort of adventure story that used to fire your imagination as a kid. A real boys own tale that takes the reader along on the three month odyssey with Ridgway and Blyth. A true inspiration that shows with the right mindset and approach, even the seemingly impossible can be overcome.
'A Fighting Chance' is surely one of the greatest adventures ever documented.
