ANDRÈ WIERSIG - ALONE IN THE OCEAN AT NIGHT | BOOK

André Wiersig was the first German and 16th person ever to complete the most demanding challenge in open water swimming: the Ocean’s Seven. In this book, Wiersig tells how he prepared for the seven most famous straits in the world - and how he got to know and love the open ocean with the rhythm of hour-long arm strokes, sometimes at night and completely alone. It took six years to cross the English Channel, the Catalina Channel (Los Angeles), the Kaiwi Channel (Hawaii), the North Channel (Scotland), the Tsugaru Strait (Japan), the Cook Strait (New Zealand) and the Strait of Gibraltar crossed. He encountered sharks, dolphins, whales, plastic waste and Euro pallets. During this time, Wiersig became an ambassador for the oceans and the German Ocean Foundation. The story of a middle-aged family man and manager who, with his attitude to life, is able to achieve unimagined physical and mental feats and lives the dream.
