Rowing to Latitude -- Take 2

It's nice to be on vacation, when a person with a regular job has time to actually read books.  For fun.  What a treat!

Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge was an easy read for me.  It combines rowing, outdoor exploration, and enjoyable writing.  The problem with this book, though, is that it makes me want to take up ocean and open water rowing.  So there's that.

That one minor issue aside, however, I did very much enjoy reading this book.  For most of the book, it's divided into chapters based on the various rowing/kayaking trips taken by the author and her husband; the last two vary a little bit, pulling out and looking at the bigger picture -- illness, injury, life, death, goals, success, failure.

Overall, a winner.
