About this product

Product Information

It was crazy. It was unthinkable. It was the adventure of a lifetime. When Don and Dana Starkell left Winnipeg in a tiny three-seater canoe, they had no idea of the dangers that lay ahead. Two years and 12,180 miles later, father and son had each paddled nearly twenty million strokes, slept on beaches, in jungles and fields, dined on tapir, shark, and heaps of roasted ants. They encountered piranhas, wild pigs, and hungry alligators. They were arrested, shot at, taken for spies and drug smugglers, and set upon by pirates. They had lived through terrifying hurricanes, food poisoning, and near starvation. And at the same time they had set a record for a thrilling, unforgettable voyage of discovery and old-fashioned adventure. "Courageous . . . Exciting and always immediate." -- The New York Times Book Review

The "Downton Abbey" Season 6 Blu Ray I recieved, was exactly as shown in the photos, as well as described in great detail. The customer service at Goodwillexpress is professional & has excellent correspondence/communication. You recieve updates from the beginning of your order, until you recieve it. The prices are a fine & fair value. Also, I really loved & appreciated the excellent shipment/packaging. I will definately be a customer in the future. Many thanks, Sugar White🦄

Excellent seller answered any and all questions that I had. Item was shipped immediately and I received the package 2 days earlier than expected. The item was in mint condition just as described and packed with love and care. I would 100% buy from this seller again and in fact I already have. Excellent experience. ★★★★★

A concern over missing tracking data was adequately addressed by the seller, goodwillexpress. Despite this concern, the DVD arrived on time and in the advertised (new/sealed) condition. The DVD was well-protected during shipment and I experienced no significant issues during playback. I am thankful that they had the exact movie that I was searching for at a very tempting price. Understanding that the seller is also a nonprofit makes me quite happy to purchase from them again.

Disappointing :(
I will start out by giving credit where credit is due. The Starkells have accomplished a remarkable and even inspiring milestone in human adventure. Having said that I'm afraid that the "journal" approach of this book reveals a rather self-centered side of the Starkells that overshadows the rest of the story. Yes, they were only human, but other than personal struggles and examples of human perseverance the book comes up short on the how-to and descriptions of the various places they passed through. I don't want to be unfair since I haven't engaged such adventures of this magnitude myself, but the book gave me an uneasy feeling I was reading about some homeless people who by the grace of other people managed to stumble their way down the continent and survive many close calls born out of ...

Yes, they were only human, but other than personal struggles and examples of human perseverance the book comes up short on the how-to and descriptions of the various places they passed through. I don't want to be unfair since I haven't engaged such adventures of this magnitude myself, but the book gave me an uneasy feeling I was reading about some homeless people who by the grace of other people managed to stumble their way down the continent and survive many close calls born out of improper planning (or in some cases, no planning at all) and bad decision making. For a general example: There is basically goodwill expressed regarding all individuals who lent material support (and there were many), but much disdain for those who didn't give them what they expected. There has been much positive comparison between the Starkells and Joshua Slocum. I don't understand how this can be! Slocum, in words and deeds, was in a league far above the Starkells. The Starkells did something magnificent, but as in so many cases their journey was tarnished by their human natures. Slocum's nature made his adventures all the better!
