Join bestselling authors Colin Angus and Julie Angus for their newest show. Part film, part drama and all humour, ROWED TRIP showcases a 7,200 km odyssey from Scotland to Syria. Their voyage through 13 countries followed an interconnected route that included British canals, the English Channel, the Rhine, the Danube, the Black Sea and inland stretches such as the worryingly named “Death Canal”. Colin and Julie will be signing and selling their best-selling book Rowed Trip - A journey from Scotland to Syria by Oar during the intermission.

Juie Angus is the first and only woman to row across the Atlantic Ocean from mainland to mainland.  During the worst hurricane season in history, she spent 5 months rowing unsupported across 10,000 km of unforgiving seas.  Throughout this challenge, she and her partner rowed through 4 cyclones, encountered great white sharks, and fished for survival.
Julie is a molecular biologist, adventurer, writer, filmmaker, and motivational speaker. She has two undergraduate degrees with honours from McMaster University (Biology and Psychology) and a graduate degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Victoria. She spent over a decade studying and developing treatments for heart disease, cancer and genetic ailments.
She has been lauded for her work on environmental awareness and has written for publications including The Globe & Mail, National Post and enRoute. Her photography has appeared in Outside Magazine, Explore Magazine, Reader's Digest, National Geographic Adventure and The Guardian, among others. Julie's book Rowboat in a Hurricane, which details her Atlantic row and the changing state of our oceans, is a national bestseller and her newest book Rowed Trip is be available as of September 2009.
