Sarah Outen Speaks to All-School Assembly, Public Event Thursday 4/30

On Thursday, April 30 at 7pm, Pleasant Bay Community Boating will host “An Evening with Sarah Outen” at the Monomoy Regional High School Auditorium. All are invited to attend. This will be Sarah’s only public speaking event on Cape Cod.

Sarah has been spending the last four years circling the globe by rowing boat, bike and kayak. She has spent the last month on Cape Cod, as she prepares for the final leg of her journey.

During the project, London2London: Via the World, Sarah kayaked across the English Channel, biked across Europe and Asia, kayaked to Japan, rowed from Japan to Alaska, kayaked through the Aleutian Islands, and biked again across North America through this winter. Her current mileage is 21,500 since London.

Along the way she has had many extraordinary adventures, including being rescued in the North Pacific from Typhoon Mawar, completing the first ever solo row from Japan to Alaska, and the first ever traverse of the Aleutian chain by kayak with her rowing partner Justine Curgenven.

Previous to this adventure, in 2009 she became the first woman and youngest person ever to row solo across the Indian Ocean from Australia to Africa.

The talk will feature Sarah's chronicle of her adventures and the people and lessons she has met along the way. It will also feature an extended excerpt of her feature length documentary about kayaking the Aleutians.

The event is free, though donations will be accepted toward the charities she is supporting on her project. For more information, visit www.sarahouten.com
