A vivid work of travel writing and adventure, Throw Out Two Hands chronicles Anthony Smith's remarkable journey across the Atlantic Ocean on a small bamboo raft, undertaken with a crew of companions in the 1990s. Smith details the physical and psychological challenges of ocean survival with a tone that is both self-deprecating and deeply observant, capturing the raw unpredictability of the sea alongside the camaraderie forged under extreme conditions. The narrative uncovers what it truly means to pit human ingenuity and endurance against one of the world's most formidable natural forces, all aboard a vessel that many would consider laughably inadequate for such a crossing. Written with wit and an adventurer's unshakeable curiosity, the account illustrates how vulnerability and determination can coexist, making it a compelling read for anyone drawn to tales of human daring on the open water.
