Description
In June 2004, a Canadian couple left Vancouver on a two year and 43,000 km odyssey to attempt the first human powered circumnavigation of the globe. This included rowing across 2 oceans, trekking over 3 continents, and exploring 17 countries. For 5 months they rowed unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, enduring 4 cyclones during the worst hurricane season in recorded history, to complete their 10,000 km ocean crossing, making Julie the first woman to row across the Atlantic from mainland to mainland and the first Canadian woman to row across any ocean.
The goal of their expedition was to show just how far non-motorised transportation can take you and to promote no or low emission transportation as a means to combat climate change.
