  1. Well done, some feat of dedication and to go on and win.

    Any chance the Cork Lady on the Cunard Ship could arrange him a luxury lift back?

    What an achievement. And at 42 years old too.

    I would never have thought that winter was the best time to hold an Atlantic rowing competition. I wonder why that is.

  3. Great achievement! Now compare that to the competitors who post 3 links from news sites every single day on a website religiously. Despite being banned in certain sections, it didn’t dampen their lofty ambitions of posting 3 links to media sites every day!

    If you train and eat healthy every day, you too could one day be proficient at posting 3 links to media sites daily, with ease! Inspirational stuff.

  4. My Mrs could row for hours, sure for days non-stop.

    Reminds me of a guy who went to the same school as me. JC Pre English exam was asked to write a story about ‘a Row between Friends’.
    Told a fantastic story of two friends in a boat.

    Still cracks me up to this day. Bit mean to have an ambiguous word in an exam, because he didn’t get what was wrong.

    Same spelling, different meaning.
