How hard can it be to row an Atlantic??? I don't
know... YET! How hard can it be to prepare to row one? Fairly.. Every day
we set about those important tasks in the
belief the 'to do list' will shrink, but magically the list continues to get
longer.... However, lets face it, these aren't that difficult
issues overcome. Our main achievement today was to store 90 days (advised
food rations quantity) and 150 litres of ballast water within the confines
of a relatively small space.. Much to my surprise and delight, the 300 odd kilos
of food is now neatly stowed benath the decks... squuezed in through 200mm
diameter water tight (we hope) deck hatches. For those who are not familiar with the diet of a needy
ocean rower, we will divulge this information (or some of it) as it is
consumed.. well theres a good reason to tune in, i hear you
say... You might be surprised at how well we have catered for the journey
of a lifetime!!!!!
