Fantastic book - I could not put it down once I started reading it. The story is mixture of a great China experience - from dealing with the Chinese boat building factory, immigration and Visa's for Sun Haibin, the sports Universities, and all those special "China moments", peculiarities and uncertaities. These thing can make you wonder how these guys were ever going to get to the starting line ... or for those of us that have spent signficant time in China reminds that somehow things work out if you just keep insisting and trying and pushing and are culturally aware and sensitive. There is always a way - somehow to get things done in China. And what a great story of adventure, challange and team work to cross the Ocean. Out on the Atlantic in the dark amoung huge waves - in a rowboat! This book was a real pleasure to read. Inspiring, fun, insightful, and reminds us all what can be done and to live our dreams.
