Rowing the Atlantic: Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean
So here's the thing: if you have a ton of cash, enough from your plummy divorce settlement (gotten after you were caught cheating and divorced your husband to find yourself) and you've been reliably employed in finance and IT in London for a decade and have cash cascading off you like dead skin, you too can commission an ocean-rowing boat made to your specifications and you can take a year off to row the Atlantic.
There is a whole chapter about the author's struggles with weight and body image early in the book, which is good, because we need more discussion about body image and athletes. But then at the end the author rejoices in a 25-pound weight loss, and something's not quite right there.
The author even describes herself as bored -- bored! -- while on the Atlantic Ocean, rowing her dream. I... what? What?
And then she inveigles her mother -- her mother who packed all the bags, pre-packed encouraging cards for the voyage, maintained the author's blog and brought clean clothes to Antigua -- to silence so she can sip that first sip of white Chablis wine back on land in peace?
Nope. Nein. Non. ל×. No.
There are a ton of Fantastic Women's Adventure Memoirs, and this is not one of them.
