- Ocean Rower, John (twitter @solopacificrow ) is preparing to row the Indian Ocean, attempting to become the first person to row continent to continent from Australia to East Africa. This is a series of videos detailing the journey to the start line, preparing the ocean rowing boat, equipment and planning logistics and supplies.
This episode - update on the boat - boat construction -
John previously set a Pacific Ocean Rowing record by becoming the first person in history to row, solo, non stop, continent to continent from North America to Australia. From San Fransisco to Cairns, a Solo Ocean Row consisting of 208 days at sea. He rowed the Atlantic solo in 2011 and again in 2018 with his daughter.
All completed in a pure rowing boat, i.e. no auto pilot, no dagger board, no wind catching design elements, not a blowing boat.
Well done. Good luck with the painting. 👏👍
Hi John,
Thank you for sharing with us the preparation side of your journey. I had a decked yellow rowing boat (19ft) and was fortunate to have had a chat with you as you were entering the the port of Cairns. I look forward to your videos. The simple things are interesting.

Hi, thanks for the support entering Cairns, that day was a bit of a blur after being alone for so long. It's thee first chance I've had to prepare the boat for a journey this thoroughly, she's usually been in a different country and I've had to pay to have her prepared. It's been quite enjoyable doing the work myself.
Hi John, I really love watching your adventures and look forward to seeing more. I am Canadian and I hope that you know you'll always be welcome to come back to visit or stay. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Hi Len, I'm hoping to get at least a small adventure in this year even if it's not the Indian Ocean and I should have time to post a few more video's over the coming weeks, been a bit busy round the farm recently. We will be back in Canada for sure at some point, just don't know when because of the strange situation we all find ourselves in. Thanks for your kind words.
Love the updates
Thanks, slow progress but moving forward at least.
Whew! Well done and with perfect music!
Thanks Louise
Hi John, I sent you a message a while ago, former runner fella, just give you an update, I have got a boat, Ella Hammonds SF to Haw, Justin Adkin built, Damian Browne did the Talisker in her, just prepping for full refit of her. Great collection of clips by the way, best on here by a long way. How are you getting on?
Hi Mike, well done on thee first big step, you're committed now. Good luck with the refit, did you say which route you were going to have a crack at?
I have anew update going up in the next few days.
@@soloatlanticrower Hi John, I'm planning on either NYC or Boston/Cape cod to Cornwall, got a couple of north Wales to IOM next spring summer ready hopefully for May 2023.
That's a good crossing, let me know when you leave, I'd like to head to Cornwall to see you home.
@@soloatlanticrower will do John, I will post some clips also.
