 Rowing to Alaska And Other True Stories by Wayne McLennanIn Rowing to Alaska, Wayne McLennan tells the story of his utterly extraordinary life through a series of adventures. Desperate to avoid following his father and grandfather into the mines, he left his home town in Australia to become a professional boxer. Later, after stints as a goldminer in Costa Rica and a fishing boat skipper in Nicaragua, he made a grueling six-month journey--by rowboat-along the 1,000 miles of coast from Seattle to Alaska. Along the way, there are the compelling characters he encounters: men who refuse to give in to the conformity and comforts of modern life, choosing instead lonely, often dangerous occupations.
