Perhaps the only thing more impressive than Fox's rowing resume is the manner in which he seems to have poured every ounce of insight and experience acquired during that epic riparian odyssey into the pages of a book .

Pick it up. You won't put it down. You don't need to be a whitewater person.
Hooked. Your book reminds me of classic, well-written stories about growing up, describing what it means to live in the moment, void of all sentimentality. . . in the tradition of Odysseus who took so many years to sail through the waters to find his way home. — Jim Nolman, Author, and pioneer of making music with whales.

You knocked it out of the park! There are few books that I know I’ll want to read again before I’ve even finished. This is one of them. Thank you for writing it. Well done.
The joy of feeling a raft, weightlessly accelerated by gravity to follow the curl of a wave.
