Product Description
Product Description
On 7 October 2001, husband-and-wife team Debra and Andrew Veal set off from Tenerife in a rowing boat called Troika Transatlantic. They were the only mixed pair taking part in the Ward Evans Transatlantic Rowing Challenge. After only two weeks, Andrew, a 6" 5" experienced rower, abandoned ship having realised that he was terrified in the open seas. He left Debra, who was enjoying herself immensely, thinking that she would continue for a little while and then join him on the shore. She did, but not until she had rowed the Atlantic single-handed! This is Debra's account of over three months alone at sea - the gruelling work, loneliness, tranquility, beauty of nature, and support from hundreds of well wishers. Debra also shares her reflections and the insights into her relationship with her husband, as well as describing how she discovered unknown strengths and aspects of her self. A fascinating account of an inner and outer journey.
About the Author
Prior to rowing the Atlantic, Debra set up The Well Hung Art Company on the Internet and became its managing director. Debra has remained in as MD of her company, but she now has a taste for adventure and is planning further adventures.

Inspiring....,
By katie Miller (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rowing it Alone: One Woman's Extraordinary Transatlantic Adventure (Hardcover)
having not followed the ward evens rowing challenge i only picked up this book because i myself am a rower. what i found in this book inspired me beyond my wildest dreams! this story is about an ordinary women having ordinary dreams but she sets out to acheive these dreams. The determinaton and courage she put through in this book are amazing and some of the things she encountered were unbelivable. This book isnt just for people who followed the ward evens rowing challenge, or for people interested in rowing, it is for those who are looking to be inspired by the amazing bravery of a women who could have given up at any time....
