Customer Reviews

Highly Inspirational

I've read both of Maud Fontenoy's books and cant wait to read the next one about her solo voyage around the world. If you want to inspire your daughter onto great accomplishments than a gift of these books may do it.

Perfect for any general-interest public library lending holding or for nautical collections.

In 2003 the author became the first woman to row alone cross the North Atlantic ocean: in 2005 she challenged the Pacific - and won again. CHALLENGING THE PACIFIC tells of her journey, capturing both daily sailing challenges and long-term motivation and goals. Her story is true adventure at its best; perfect for any general-interest public library lending holding or for nautical collections. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
