Aaron Carotta - rowing around the world.
Sun 19 Dec 2021 19:00
Battling the north winds now around 15 knots for a week solid, a bit tested and tried on the breakdown of communication amongst all the moving parts but thankful for Chris Martin, Just with Solar Panels Up, friend Kris, Paul, Charlie, and Kevin for help and motivation to press on and not get sucked out too far South on a one way. I am on the oars now for the rest of the day to do my best of getting east of this 1 knot south current followed up by a nasty 20 knot south wind tommorrow. If all else fails it’s a toss of the sea anchor next and a waiting game at sea till mid week when I see lighter winds allowing me to reach land maybe in time for a few holiday wishes off a cell tower.
