Ocean Rowing - 3000 Mile Solo Atlantic Row - Ep1 - 2nd Fastest On Record - Full Diary Version

Ocean Rowing - Ep 1- Atlantic the hard way -
In 2011 John set off alone to row the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Barbados. 53 days at sea, the 2nd fastest solo Atlantic crossing on record at the time, it is still the equal 3rd fastest crossing in the record books. This is the full diary version of the crossing, warts and all, the frustration and tears and the toughest arrival of all my journey's.
Apologies for the quality of some of the footage, it was taken mostly with one original Gopro that didn't like the heat and wet and a couple of other camera's that had modest resolution.
John went on to 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.
Completed in a pure rowing boat, i.e. no auto pilot, no dagger board, no wind catching design elements, not a blowing boat.

Do you give any details on your equipment? Watermaker, solar etc? What food supplies did you pack? Did you have problems with seasickness and if so how did you overcome it? I'd love to know more about your preparations. perhaps you discuss that in other episodes? Thanx.
