Sallys Odd At Sea
Think Bridget Jones meets Moby Dick. I knew we were in trouble the moment our knickers which are pegged to the mast started flapping in completely the wrong direction writes Sally. And so begins her epic ocean adventure. With no rowing experience and certainly no sea-going experience Sally Kettle took to the oars in her ocean rowing boat Calderdale in 2003. Fate however had other plans and when illness beset her then boyfriend and team-mate she was joined on-board by an unlikely partner Sarah Kettle her mother. After years of arguments and misunderstandings they set off from the Canary Islands in a boat the size of the average bathroom with nothing to do but row watch whales and grow cress. They passed the hours with the kind of chit-chat that only girls are capable of discussing the
merits of a good pair of cotton knickers playing eye spy and reading stories to each other at bedtime.When they landed in Barbados 105 days later they became the worlds first mother-and-daughter pair to row an ocean having rowed 3 000 miles across the giant Atlantic to the West Indies. In the course of their row they raised over GBP250 000 for an epilepsy charity and earned their place in the Guinness World Records 2008. It brought them closer together and in the confines of their tiny boat Sally and her mother managed finally to reconcile their past. Sallys Odd at Sea" is an inspiring hilarious and real-life account of a daughter and mothers exceptional journey across the high seas and Sallys subsequent attempt to cross the Atlantic as skipper of the all-girl Rowgirls team."
