Ever wondered what it's like to spend 4 months on your own in a rowing boat? Scotsman Leven Brown is a tough, very salty sea dog. He's done 7 ocean rows so far and plans to row the Northwest Passage next summer if the ice allows (from northeast Canada to northwest Alaska). We talk about dealing with loneliness, avoiding large ships and hurricanes. Bearded and barrel-chested like you'd expect, Leven is a remarkable man who found his calling in life by trading in his job at a stockbroker's for a risky life on the high seas. I love stories like this. We briefly lose connection due to a thunderstorm, but apart from that, enjoy...

Check out his website for more photos and adventures  www.levenbrownadventure.com. Or if you're interested in joining his next trip go to nwpexpedition.com. Buy a bottle of award winning Northwest Passage Expedition gin to give support. He's the man to talk to if you're thinking about doing an ocean row.
