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

    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 ...
