Join Jordan Hanssen, author and lead rower for OAR Northwest, for a talk on his book, an account of a trans-Atlantic journey set against the backdrop of Hanssen’s reflections on the teachings of both his stepfather and his biological father, who had passed away.

Hanssen and his teammates coped within the confines of their tiny boat, pushing their limits to row across an ocean. Clive Cussler: “Jordan Hanssen has proven he can write true adventure as well as live it, by rowing across the ominous Atlantic Ocean. Truly an epic of adventure and perseverance, this is great inspiration for anyone who thinks of someday tackling the impossible.” This program will occur after regular library hours and no other services will be available.
