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 book is brand new, just as described. The price was reasonable. Shipping was fast, and tracking was provided. Unlike other sellers who REFUSE to leave feedback unless the buyer leaves feedback first, this seller left feedback immediately upon payment. THIS is how it should be. EXCELLENT transaction! Thank you very much.

Item is just as described and in pristine condition. Packaged extremely well. Thank you!! I would buy from the seller again. But be aware, processing and shipping is a lengthy process and you aren’t likely to get your item in under a week. But did arrive in the stated delivery window. Now, knowing that it will take time to arrive, this book was so clean and nice, I will buy from the seller again. Patience is a good skill to cultivate.

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 ...

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!
