The Yantu Project was an audacious undertaking ... this book sends us a powerful message; that it is possible to achieve the seemingly impossible so long as there is trust in one another and a shared vision. Her Majesty Queen Noor, author of Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life After rowing 5,000km across the roiling Atlantic Ocean with buttocks full of boils and a former PLA soldier who had never been to sea, Christian Havrehed has a kind of story that drops jaws. Before long the book will become a manual for adventurers. South China Morning Post Beijing to Barbados in a Rowboat is an adventure story with a contemporary Asian flavor ... Experienced and armchair adventurers alike will enjoy accompanying the pair through travail to triumph. The Asia Review of Books We are convinced that readers will cherish this book. That their legendary story has been successively published in English, Chinese and Danish already proves that the ideals of cooperation, adventure and compassion engage people across nationalities. This book will tell you a true story of beauty and hardship. Quanhai Li ( ), Secretary General of the Chinese Yachting Association

Author Information

Christian Havrehed is an ex-consultant, sinologist, adventurer, inspirational speaker, teambuilder and writer, who has lived 20 years in China. He founded the Yantu Project (沿途方案) or 'The On-going Project' in 2000, to promote Sino-Western cross-cultural understanding because he observed there was, and still is, a need for this. His concept is to use unusual China related cross-cultural maritime adventures to engage people around the world. By following his adventures, people get to know China and the Chinese better in an exciting and entertaining way. With his adventures Christian showcases that Mainland Chinese and Westerners can achieve anything together, as long as they are willing to trust and believe in each other. His adventures thereby challenge the Status Quo thinking of most Chinese and Westerners. He uses his adventures to promote and fundraise for the alma mater United World Colleges, a group of international schools with the mission: ""United World Colleges (""UWC"") makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.""
