Rowboat in a Hurricane“When Julie Angus… takes to the sea, she dives in deep, as evidenced by her 145-day journey by rowboat across the Atlantic Ocean.

Rowboat in a Hurricane“While I’m on the subject of impressive women… Julie [Angus] became the first woman to row (with Colin) across the Atlantic Ocean from mainland to mainland… The Vancouver-Island resident has written about that trip in her new book, Rowboat in a Hurricane. It’s a fascinating read from a woman who didn’t discover the outdoors until she was 21, and who still claims that she’s ‘not an adventurer.’” explore Magazine, Nov 26, 2008 Read more about Rowboat in a Hurricane >> |
Rowboat in a Hurricane“Rowboat in a Hurricane… describes with dismay and alarm the amount of trash floating in the water, most of it plastic. …The voyage reinforced Angus’s sense of the interconnection of land and sea, of how the health of life on land depends on the vitality of the oceans. …This book is a testament both to human courage and to human destructiveness. Angus deftly weaves personal detail into the story, fleshing out her small cast of characters.” BC Bookworld, Nov 18, 2008 Read more about Rowboat in a Hurricane >> |

Rowboat in a Hurricane“If the story sounds familiar, it should. Colin Angus documented the Atlantic voyage in Beyond the Horizon… Here, however, Julie Angus offers the female perspective and draws on her background as a molecular biologist to infuse her tale with statistics about the changing ocean environment. …Angus writes with such good humour and honesty… that any overlap is soon forgotten. …and you can’t help but admire her candour.” Outpost Magazine, Nov 4, 2008 Read more about Rowboat in a Hurricane >> |
