At first glance, the small town of Chatham, Ontario would seem an unlikely place to produce a pair of adventurous superheroes. But where better to find dreamers, risk-takers, rule breakers, and peacemakers than in a small town wracked long with bad luck and economic hardship? Rod Wellington and Scott McFarlane are two such dreamers. From their basement rock star beginnings to their cross-country jaunts and big city missteps, these two lifelong friends have supported each other through thick and thin. However, when Rod asks Scott to join him on a source to sea journey down the Mississippi River in a small boat, a rising tide of sunken resentment threatens to end not only their river voyage, but their friendship as well. Can their well-intentioned alter-egos, Action Man and Jim, save the day? Part-Time Superheroes, Full-Time Friends is a courageously candid and insightfully emotional journey through the uneven and unpredictable landscape of a soul-searching mind. One part memoir and one part adventure travel story, this cathartic quest for identity in a world of anonymity is sure to have you examining your own engrained perceptions of the word "friendship."

On April 2, 2013, Rod Wellington became the first North American to kayak the Missouri-Mississippi river system from source to sea, a distance of 6100km. The solo journey took 256 days to complete. Rod's triumphant arrival at the Gulf of Mexico marked the completion of Stage One of his Magnificent Seven Expedition, a personal quest to descend the longest river system on each continent from source to sea using only human-powered transportation (kayaking, rafting, and walking). He estimates it will take 15 years to complete the project. Rod plans to write a book about each of these seven journeys. No stranger to adventure, Rod has bicycled more than 25,000km, including continental crossings of North America and Australia. He has also logged over 13,000km of river travel, including source to sea descents of the Mississippi River (3700km) and the Murray River, Australia's longest waterway (2500km). Rod is an accomplished public speaker and author. Part-Time Superheroes, Full-Time Friends is his first book. Find out more at www.rodwellington.com.
