Intimate reflections on extreme Arctic rowing adventures.
Imagine gliding through icy waters, the silent Arctic expanse around you. Jill Fredston does more than evoke this image; she lived it, rowing thousands of miles alongside her husband. Her narrative isn't just about the physical journey; it's a tapestry of wilderness, self-discovery, and a profound connection with nature. If the call of the wild—tempered with introspection and marital dynamics—resonates with you, then "Rowing to Latitude" could be a book you'll find hard to put down.

Description
Two by A couple rows the wild coasts of the far north. Jill Fredston has traveled more than twenty thousand miles of the Arctic and sub-Arctic-backwards. With her ocean-going rowing shell and her husband, Doug Fesler, in a small boat of his own, she has disappeared every summer for years, exploring the rugged shorelines of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Spitsbergen, and Norway. Carrying what they need to be self-sufficient, the two of them have battled mountainous seas and hurricane-force winds, dragged their boats across jumbles of ice, fended off grizzlies and polar bears, been serenaded by humpback whales and scrutinized by puffins, and reveled in moments of calm. As Fredston writes, these trips are "neither a vacation nor an escape, they are a way of life." Rowing to Latitude is a lyrical, vivid celebration of these northern journeys and the insights they inspired. It is a passionate testimonial to the extraordinary grace and fragility of wild places, the power of companionship, the harsh but liberating reality of risk, the lure of discovery, and the challenges and joys of living an unconventional life.
