- Ocean Rowing - Ep6- 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 (sailing) design elements, not a blowing boat. - Спорт
I am vicariously living through your video's, i stumbled across your channel this morning and found myself ignoring all my chores today and bing watching in admiration. Since i was a kid i dreamed of doing what you are doing. What an awesome experience.
Never too late.
I live no where near the ocean and have no interest in rowing across it but I love the struggle between man and nature and I’m glad I’ve found your videos. Your a great man that’s did something amazing. Congratulations on your journey
Glad you enjoyed them and you get the reason for taking on the challenge. I'd argue slightly whith your description of me, I'm just an ordinary guy who got to do something amazing and couldn't resist going back for more, thanks again.
Wow, thats an incredible journey! your the last of a dying breed. Awesome stuff.
Incredible what you're doing!
"exhaustion mixed in with a bit of adrenaline is a dangerous thing" oh how i can relate to that comment sir!
How do you put sun cream on your back as a solo rower?
A telescopic pole with a sponge.
