Ha! I was wondering who brought this book. It is fun when you come back home to journal your catches to see who released the books. This looks interesting. Hope I will read it and if so i will tell you more. Have a nice stay!

Wow. What a great read this was. This book is about a father Don Starkell and his 2 sons, Jeff and Dana who decide to canoe from Winnipeg Canada all the way To Brazil Belem.

This trip was so dangerous I could not understand the dad a lot of the times, why he put his sons in so much danger but he kept on pushing. One son decided to quit after 5 months so Don and Dana decided to go on.

They were hijacked many a times by people that pretended to be cops, by real cops. The sea nearly did them in. They starved, they fought with each other. Dana had a lot of temper tantrums but can you blame him, but they did make it.

I want to read Don Starkell's other book. I just discovered he wrote another book about his journey close to Alaska. This man is a man possessed. Finished reading this morning on December 21- 2010. Thanks for sharing Wyando.
