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.

  • 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 ein (de)
