Holmes, a slight 21-year-old from Alberta. Canada and Gleeson, a 29-year-old from Limerick, met in Australia. Acting on self-belief, they embraced the dream of rowing a tiny boat in the trans-Atlantic race. First they had to learn to row! They were thrown around by huge seas, saw whales and sharks up close and suffered days of thirst when the watermaker broke down. But they persisted, with stubbornness, humor and a little help from a mysterious shadow. |
