Hanssen’s book recounts the adventure that started on June 10, 2006, when he was joined by college friends Dylan LeValley, Greg Spooner and Brad Vickers when the foursome stepped into a 29-foot rowboat as the only American competitors in the first North Atlantic Rowing Race, pulling across the northern ocean.
