At the start of the Atlantic Rowing Race 2007, Steve Gardner and Paul Harris were 51 and 46 respectively, both married with children and about to embark on the world's toughest rowing race in a 23 foot long boat they built out of plywood. This is the story of "two ordinary blokes with oars" and an extraordinary challenge. Steve Gardner's well illustrated and amusingly down to earth account of their remarkable feat will be a source of inspiration to rowing enthusiasts and anyone who has a taste for adventure.
