Rowing The Atlantic

Good morning from a gently rocking boat 804 nm from Isles of Scilly! But looking out is not a view like 24 hrs ago: Dense clouds of varying grey, some down to the horizon and probably full of rain. Some lighter streaks. Mackerel terns are there, singing always and I have slept quite well in...

Rowing the Atlantic

After my euphoric report last night the wind died and the current reversed, sent us first SW and this morning straight W… We got down to 997 nm to finish, now it’s at 1008 and increasing by 1 knot, ie 1 nm/hr. Totally gray day again, not a glimmer of sun. Main batteries are at...

Rowing The Atlantic

Good morning from the rocking “Fox II” in a dark, grey, slight but restless and disorganized, slight sea. Or so it seems. About 1 mile away is the hazy pale gray edge of fog… Bow is facing W into slight wind and when it rained an hour ago, it rained in underneath the canopy. So...

Rowing the Atlantic

Yesterday will be another day to forget! I rowed for two sessions in morning, never getting much speed and with wind from SSW tried first to go more E, but found short steep waves at 60 degrees to those with the wind. Less than a boat’s length between these transverse waves, so the rolling was...

Rowing The Atlantic

I saw the horizon briefly 2 hours ago, now it’s all shades of gray and clammy fog yet again! Right now I can see no further than across an average school square, so especially my young readers – hope you are still there – must forgive me for boring reports. No fog means I see...
