The old man on board, from
The award-winning author Becky Coffield may not motivate readers to get a paddle and rowing [although it's hard not to go], but it's impossible to read the book and not have the motivation to deal with personal challenges or long-term goals.
Cofield tells a delightful story about her rowing in the late 1960s. The first part of the book is about boating details, the ship that her husband actually built, and the unique history of rowing sports - especially the wherrys. However, once the author actually begins to row, readers may ridicule Coffield for accepting the adventures, trials and journeys of her wherry and her salvaged boats. In fact, the $100 sunk, the purchase and renovation of a dilapidated boat may itself be a book.
When the author prepared to "boat the west", the author's energy seemed endless, and then decided to "draw the internal passage of British Columbia." After a summer in British Columbia, the idea of a rowing knight's entrance caught her.
In the second part of the book, when the author plans to draw a 200-mile knight entrance in British Columbia, she decides to make 200 miles, 200 miles of hiking and 200 miles. On her nephew - all of this must be completed in Arizona's deadly hot weather for 100 days. This is a place where you really start to see the courage and determination of the author. Her efforts to succeed may not be comparable to the battles of marine rowers who are more than a thousand miles away, but it is unusual for her to be able to entertain students within 200 miles and leave without a doubt The 69-year-old woman from

If she decides to go to the ocean.
In addition to the author's real struggles, the second part of the book is particularly fascinating about her ideas. Many of her memories are very humorous, and humor is definitely one of the author's strengths. However, when she was rowing, her thoughts would soon turn from humor to pain, even sadness.
The end of the book is surprising and perfect. The author simply said, "So, I definitely think this book is not just about boating. Maybe this book is about remembering real life, no matter your age. But anyway, I am sure there is at least one thing there. Maybe a lot of things, what you want to do before you become a lonely person. Because?"
