"--A physical and mental challenge; an epic adventure, living out of my boat--wild rivers, volatile ocean, unpredictable weather, unique people, backwoods towns and rugged working-waterfront villages--one extraordinary journey." -- John Connelly "Dying Out Here is Not an Option is as wonderful a read as it is a wild ride. Connelly uses his luscious narrative style like a magic boat to transport readers effortlessly into his epic journey. With all the skills of an accomplished novelist, he vividly builds the universe he transects, detail by fascinating detail. You can feel the sun on your back and the cold water in your face as the struggle proceeds. It is a brilliant and engrossing tale of true grit and adventure, and the apotheosis that comes from an heroic effort. I'm so glad he survived to tell the shape of his waters." -Richard Bangs: Contributor, The New York Times, Slate, Huffington Post, Host of PBS Richard Bangs' Quests and Richard Bangs' Adventures with Purpose
