rowboat in a hurricane my amazing journey across a changing atlantic ocean
in 2005 06 julie angus with her fiance colin rowed 10000 kilometers across the atlantic ocean becoming the first woman in the world to travel from mainland to mainland in a rowboat . the 145 day journey gave angus a trained scientist a unique perspective on the ocean . the slow moving boat became an ecosystem unto itself attracting barnacles dorado fish trigger fish turtles sharks whales birds and more which she was able to observe and document . angus also saw unmistakable signs of the oceans devastation with far more plastic bottles wrappers toys and bags than sharks or other once common sea life . four cyclones including two hurricanes hammered the small boat so intensely that angus and her companion werent sure they would survive . rowboat in a hurricane records this amazing journey in meticulous dramatic detail in the process offering a personal record of an awe inspiring ecosystem its fascinating denizens and the mounting threats to its existence .
