Row Across The Pond - On our way at last

On our way at last

Row Across The Pond

Richard Hoyland and Steve Coe

Fri 20 Nov 2009 22:12

It's 12pm on Friday 20th, it's the first day of the journey and not a drop of water to be found yet. Unless you count the bottles in the vending machines. Sat in Madrid airport waiting for a connecting flight to Tenerife :-(

Can't wait to get to Gomera to start preparation for the race....this bit is just boring. The only plus is Madrid airport is phenomenal, what a piece of architecture, really inspiring.
