Atlantic Rowing Race 2009

Yup, not only do people row across the Atlantic, every second year, they have a race

This year's has just started, after a month's delay while they waited for the weather become more favourable to good times. Lots of teams, quite a few single man teams and one team of 11 going for the record. Most expect to do the trip in about a month.

One bloke intends to finish the race, keep going through the Panama and then down to Australia (a leg that will take nearly a year).

Stern stuff. Wonder if they'd let me do it in Redback ...
