More specifically, What Would John Fairfax Do?
"After fifteen minutes of teasing one of the most dangerous animals on earth, he was confident the shark was beginning to show signs of a nervous breakdown."
Professional adventurer, open ocean rower, gambler, smuggler, pirate, and a whole lot more. Forget about that phony you may have seen in beer commercials referring to himself as 'the most interesting man in the world.' There's no way he would ever have come close to John Fairfax. And even though he passed away this past February, his legend will live on. The question is, will it live on in you? Did he live a life that one should idealize or attempt to emulate? Probably not...
But adventure, whatever it is for any of us, whatever pushes beyond our routines and day-to-day comfort, is worth it for its own sake. To read more about Fairfax, the Ocean Rowing Society, and his Atlantic crossing, click here.
