Dr. Stein Hoff began his attempt rowing FOXll across the Atlantic
more than a week ago, 120 years after George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen.
Here’s his facebook link to track his voyage.

Here’s his latest post:
Tuesday May 24th
“Day 10, Tuesday 24th May and at 10 pm I am finally E of where I started to go the wrong way last Sunday. Last night when the rain came I just went to bed and had the best sleep on the voyage so far. This morning it was foggy at first, but as wind came up from S it cleared, hit the N breeze and created lumpy seas.
But after about 2 hours the rowing became easier and for the rest of the day made good progress. At lunch I opened cards from Diana and from Finn, my 7 year old grandson in London. Thank you both!! So nice to get old-fashioned post.
Also had a shave, tried to get the pc working via the Sat-phone, – it’s the only way I may send out pictures, but had to give up – again!
My body feels surprisingly good after more than 9 hours rowing today. Bum and fingers a bit sore. Back is fine. It gets more sore from sitting hunched up in this tiny space writing on the iPad than after rowing 9 hours?
Good weather forecast and W winds also for next couple of days – super!”
