Rowing into the Son
Four Young men crossing the North Atlantic
A memoir by Jordan Hanssen
“Truly an epic of adventure and perseverance, this is a great inspiration for anyone who thinks of someday tackling the impossible.”
—Clive Cussler, novelist
“Hanssen is a master of the written word. He paints a vivid and inspiring picture of his adventure and his self-reflection is nothing short of awe-inspiring.”
— Amazon review
“A beautiful sense of place and a compelling portrait of four men’s struggle with the ocean and themselves. Gripping.”
— Roz Savage, first woman to row three oceans and author
“I found myself reading far later than I intended two nights in a row, keen to see how the trip ends and anxious for the rower's safe arrival on land.”
