Whether you are contemplating rowing across the Pacific, an overnight row up the Hudson River or just get a vicarious thrill reading about such adventures, visit Colin’s Adventure Handbook on Ocean Rowing. This site contains a very large amount of information related to not only oar cruising, but many other 'adventures'.
