Our guest speaker last month, Ian Rowe, has began his world record attempt for rowing across the Atlantic! They set off at 1pm local time on the 2nd January 2012, from Morocco.
As Ian said, before he left, this is going to be brutal and unrelenting. The gruelling schedule is two hours rowing, two hours resting non stop for 30 days. Six men in a very confined space, energy sapping pace, no shower, bucket and chuck it toilet, lack of sleep, erratic weather conditions, are you getting the picture?
