An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Colin Angus is a Canadian author and adventurer who is the first person to make a self-propelled global circumnavigation. Due to varying definitions of the term "circumnavigation," debate has arisen as to whether or not the route travelled fulfilled the strictest criteria (for further discussion, see World Circumnavigation). As part of the circumnavigation, Angus and his then fiancé Julie Wafaei (now Julie Angus) made the first rowboat crossing of the Atlantic Ocean from mainland Europe to mainland North America, and Wafaei became the first Canadian woman to row across any ocean. Colin and Julie have two sons: Leif, born September 2010, and Oliver, born June 2014.

  • كولن بيتر هو مستكشف كندي، ولد في 1971 في فيكتوريا في كندا. (ar)
  • Colin Angus (* 1971 in Victoria, British Columbia) ist ein kanadischer Abenteuerreisender. Er umrundete zwischen 2002 und 2004 als erster Mensch nur mit Hilfe von Muskelkraft die Erde (zu Fuß, per Fahrrad, Kajak und Ruderboot). Die zurückgelegte Strecke umfasste mehr als 43.000 Kilometer: von Vancouver über Sibirien, Europa, den Atlantik, Mittelamerika zurück an den Ausgangsort. Begleitet wurde der Abenteurer dabei anfangs von Partner Tim Harvey, von dem er sich in Sibirien im Streit trennte. Ab Europa wurde Angus stattdessen von seiner Verlobten begleitet, mit der er gemeinsam den Atlantik überquerte. Tim Harvey gelang separat von Angus ebenfalls die Erdumrundung, seine deutlich längere Route führte aber auch durch Afrika und Südamerika. Der Abenteurer Jason Lewis, der 2007 ebenfalls eine solche Erdumrundung abschloss, bestritt die Erstumrundung der Welt durch Angus, weil dieser sich ausschließlich auf der Nordhalbkugel bewegt hatte und keine Antipodenpunkte durchquert hatte. Angus erlitt während seiner Reise auch eine behandlungsbedürftige Verletzung, die in Kanada behandelt werden musste, bevor er seine Reise wieder fortsetzte. Von National Geographic zum „Abenteurer des Jahres“ ernannt, dokumentierte Angus seine Tour in seinem Buch Einmal um die ganze Welt – Wie uns die erste Erdumrundung allein mit Muskelkraft gelang. Er unternahm seither gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Julie Angus weitere Reisen; und verfasste weitere Bücher, darunter Amazonas extrem, Lost in Mongolia – Rafting the World's Last Unchallenged River über seine Expedition entlang des Jenissei, Rowed Trip, From Scotland to Syria by Oar und Olive Odyssey.

Colin and Julie have two sons: Leif, born September 2010, and Oliver, born June 2014. Other expeditions Angus has completed include the first descent of the Yenisei River (the world's fifth longest river); a complete descent of the Amazon River from source to sea; from Scotland to Syria by bicycle and rowboat; and sailing from Spain to the Middle East investigating the domestication of the olive tree. Angus has written four books: Lost in Mongolia (2003), Amazon Extreme (2004), Beyond the Horizon (2007), and Rowed Trip (2009). He has co-produced two films for National Geographic Television. These include "Boiling Water and Bullets" [1] covering the Amazon River, as well as a film on the Yenisey River in Mongolia [2]. Outside Magazine included Colin Angus in a compilation of 25 people changing the world in its December 2005 issue. Colin and Julie are active speakers [3], and were participants in Canada's ideacity [4]. Colin is a rowboat advocate and designer, and was recognized by Carl Cramer, Publisher for Wooden Boat Magazine, for a unique "camper" rowboat that allows for a sleeping berth yet has very low wind resistance [5]. In 2011 Colin rowed the 1,100 km (683 miles) around Vancouver Island in 15 days, 11 hours, and 47 minutes, setting a new record for the fastest human powered circumnavigation of the island [6]. Colin also writes a monthly column for the magazine Explore [7], addressing a wide range of subjects such as fund raising, camping, diets, exercise, and his philosophy of rowboats and long distance rowing. On this last point he advocates sliding seat rowing as an efficient way of propelling a boat, since it promotes a full body workout, uses all the major muscles, and is also conducive to two person, continuous travel. Colin and Julie have also modeled clothing for Helly Hansen, and did a catalogue photoshoot with them in Chamonix, France. (en)
