That Rower Guy...

Anyone remember this article from April, about the Virgin sponsored trans-Atlantic rower?

He was going for an Atlantic Crossing record, but hit difficulty - reported here.

Well, it all went very quiet, but it seems that he's finally returned home with a record - the SLOWEST, EVER, Atlantic Crossing!
Instead of his target of 62 days, he hit nearly 124 days when he finally finished [:0]

Sky News Link and ABC News Link.


Still, hats off to the guy - I wouldn't have tried it ;)

I am still convinced that UCS IS a much better way across the pond ;) Great achievement but I do like my creature comforts!
