The tall, burly man asks: ‘Can you row?’ ‘No,
never before,’ I answer, and mumble something about canoeing in
school. Well get in the boat,’ says Eamonn Kavanagh. That first day
is hard. The hands begin to cramp, drops of blood start oozing through
your fingertips … AUTHOR INFORMATION Paul Gleeson from Limerick studied business. After time as a financial adviser, he craved adventure and packed his bags.
