 A Journey Into Solitude November 6, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I came upon this book this weekend by accident and I can't put it down. I do not row and I am not an outdoorsy person, but the adventures that are described go beyond the external. Anyone who is interested in the meaning of life, personal relationships, taking the less traveled road, as well as glorious descriptions of places most of us will never see...will enjoy this book. I plan to buy several as gifts.

Written by a dedicated outdoors prfessional who's in love with life and is driven by the experience not the mission or "prize".
The rowing community as well as the adventure community should take note.She indeed has a rich rowing background in 8s, but never lost the joy of rowing realized in her childhood. As far as her outdoor credentials, she has the essential NOLS beginnings and then a daily working reality in her profession as an artic specialist
which exceeds mere experiencials...let alone her "recreational"
wanderings on water of a vast artic realm. How many of us would love to join them, how many of us could? But, I have hopes that this book will inspire many to investigate the possibilities of using rowing as a lifetime vehicle for backcountry exploration on appropriate waters (with appropriate prepairations) as her partner discovered by 1994.
