MORE ABOUT 'THE JOURNEY'
When Debra Searle and her former husband Andrew signed up to compete in a double-handed rowing race across the Atlantic Ocean they believed their combination of skills would see them victorious over their all-male competitors. Yet during their first night in open waters they were confronted with a discovery that would leave their transatlantic bid in tatters: Andrew, an experienced rower, was suffering from an uncontrollable fear of the ocean.
Try as they might to overcome this, eventually Andrew realised he would have to give up. Seizing the opportunity to pit herself single-handedly against the ocean, novice rower Debra spent over three months tackling one of the world's toughest sporting challenges on her own, at the same time testing the limits of her psychological strength and endurance.
This is Debra's account of that solo journey, in which she dramatically conveys the feelings of exhilaration, the emotional lows, the inner calm, the loneliness, and the final triumph.
The Journey explores the techniques Debra used to remain motivated and determined to finish despite the odds being stacked against her. Ultimately this book is about how to achieve against the odds.
“Somewhere along the journey something powerful happened – a personal realisation that I was capable of more. Not in an arrogant way… but rather an acknowledgement of the personal limits I had set myself. It was time to stop holding myself back. I was capable of more hardship. More challenges. More joy. More determination. More attitude. More attainment.
My hope is that through this book you too will seek more. Most of the strategies I relied on I know can be used in any situation in life. I'm certain of this because I still rely on them daily myself.”
– Debra Searle MVO, MBE.
