About Fearless - One Woman, One Kayak, One Continent

<p>Freya Hoffmeister, a forty-six-year-old former skydiving and SCUBA instructor, gymnast, marksman, and 'Miss Germany' contestant, left her twelve-year-old son behind to paddle alone and unsupported around Australia — a year-long adventure that virtually every expert guaranteed would get her killed.&nbsp;</p><p>She planned not only to survive the 9,420-mile trip through huge, shark-infested seas, but to do it faster than the only other paddler who had successfully done so.</p><p>As journalist and expert US kayaker Joe Glickman details the voyage of this 'Teutonic force of nature', he captures interminable days on the water and nights camped out on deserted islands; hair-raising encounters with crocs and great white sharks; and the daring 300-mile open-ocean crossing that shaved three weeks off her trip.&nbsp;</p><p>For 332 days Glickman followed Freya’s journey on her blog — along with a far-flung audience of awestruck, even lovesick, groupies — as she took on one terrifying ordeal after the next.&nbsp;</p><p>In the end, he says, “her vanity and pigheadedness paled next to her nearly superhuman ability to master fear and persevere.”</p><p>About the Author<br></p><p>Joe Glickman is a recipient of the Lowell Thomas Award for travel writing. His work has appeared in "Outside, Men's Journal, National Geographic Adventure, Backpacker, Canoe &amp; Kayak, " and leading national newspapers. His books include "To The Top" and "The Kayak Companion." He is a two-time member of the U.S. National Marathon Kayak Team.</p><p>Freya Hoffmeister born 1964 is a German born business owner and athlete who holds several sea kayaking endurance records. In 2009 she completed a circumnavigation of Australia solo and unassisted, becoming the first woman and only the second person ever to do so.<br></p>
