Water Lust

Water Lust by Irwin SusserWe have images in our heads of adventurers, daredevils, people who like to push the boundaries, seeking the ultimate thrill. Then we meet one ordinary man who did the extraordinary thing. Irwin Susser is that man and Water Lust is his true story.
   From paddling a canoe, to whitewater kayaking, and finally circumnavigating the North Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat, Water Lust is a big deal for those who dream the adventures but doubt themselves, for those who seek the freedom but haven't yet to escape. This book shows how one man did follow his dreams.
   Sail alongside the author as he deals with uncontrollable weather, on-board fires, and mechanical difficulties using MacGyver-esque ingenuity. Discover the sage wisdom he used to prevent starvation and murderous crew tendencies. See what nature and an array of personalities can throw at you when you are surrounded by ocean and there's no where else to turn but yourself.
   To all of us who think we can't, he shows us that, in fact, we can.

 

Whitewater to Bluewater a sailors story

Water Lust by Irwin SusserThis new book, the prequel to his book Water Lust perfectly showcases Irwins' sense of adventure, love of the open sea, as well as his personal journey towards becoming a sailor.
   His way of viewing the risks and tragedies involved in sailing show the inner strength and determination required to survive at sea and in life. A requirement of sailing into ever changing weather, where one is at nature’s mercy.
   However, it’s also a story with a few comical misadventures and struggles along the way. Buying and rebuilding his first sailboat, crew issues and engine problems, the value of good insurance just to mention a few.
