A few weeks ago, I had dinner with an impressive couple. Colin Angus was the first person to circumnavigate the globe under human power – mostly rowing and cycling. His fiancée Julie joined him for part of the trip and became the first woman to row the Atlantic. They showed me an early cut of their 60-minute film, and it was excellent—they had some really incredible stories. To me, the most amazing part was cycling through Siberia in the winter, with average temperatures of -50°C. There were plenty of other great episodes in their trek: rowing from Alaska to Kamchatka, dealing with hurricanes on the Atlantic, and some anecdotes that I don’t want to reveal until they’ve at least released the film – it will hopefully be coming to an outdoors film festival near you, followed by a book in the spring. See their itinerary on their website, and check out some of the photos.
