We rowed from the Canary Islands to Barbados and covered 2700 nautical miles.  The journey was 42.5 days of rowing 12 hours per day. 
 
'15 Minutes!'. It's 1:45 AM and I have barely slept and it's time to start my next shift. Struggling to identify my foulies (foul weather gear) from the sopping heap of stuff in the cabin. Then the ichy, disgusting feeling of pulling on wet gear and knowing, really it doesn't get worse than this, somehow isn't comforting.  Hearing the captains call to 'stroke (rowing position)', I struggle, crawling my way along a crowded deck as Britannia III hurls and rocks in the battering of wind and waves. 
  
Thank you to the ClubLocarno Executive for supporting my adventure. They are truly exceptional in their spirit, commitment, and knowledge.   Also thanks to all of you for your overwhelming support and interest.   It has really meant a lot.
 
We are the sum of our parts and those parts are pretty good!
