FEATURED GUEST
Author Jordan Hanssen is a modern-day adventurer. In 2006, Jordan led a Seattle-based four-man team of rowers across the Atlantic Ocean on a 72-day expedition that resulted in a Guinness World Record for the first unassisted row from the United States to England. His toughest challenge would come on his team’s second trip across the Atlantic – a 3,200 nautical mile row from Dakar, Senegal to Miami, Florida. The expedition aimed to promote ocean conservation, provide remote education programs, and collect ocean, atmospheric, and athlete data. Two weeks into this first-ever human-powered crossing from Africa to North America, two rogue waves flipped their boat and left them fighting for their lives. Photos and video footage accompany his harrowing tale of survival which was featured on Dateline NBC in 2014. Book signing following the event.
