Rowing Across the Atlantic

Posted on May 24, 2016May 24, 2016
Here’s his latest posting:


Monday 23rd May, 8th day,
 position 2am 40 28.6 N, 070 54,7 W

“One week gone, 8th day at sea, not one I want to have too many of. It rained while the wind and waves increased and became quite a gale yesterday. Difficult to sleep while sliding about and worrying about what will break.

But by midday today the sun came out and the wind calmed enough to do some inside work. I had been blown north of a shipping lane and decided to get south again when the waves stopped breaking. Pulled in the sea anchor.

Finally now in the area between the two 4 n.miles wide, giant lanes, it is 02.00 and position is 40 28.6 N, 070 54,7 W and I am ready for some sleep!

Wind almost gone and full moon above.”
