Reflections on Expeditions Past - 2

The second part of the Sky News documentary following the 2003 / 4 row across the Atlantic.  This part shows how quickly it can all go wrong.........but thats why you do these things.

Reflections on Expeditions Past

At times it is amazing to think that it is nearly 8 years since Jacko and I started our row across the Atlantic, and there is hardly a day when I do not think about the experience of that long trip.  The mind numbs the pain and fear and I look back on the entire experience with a degree of fondness which is hard to articulate.


So whilst the Arctic continues to beckon and is unfinished business, in many respects so is the Atlantic.  Although re-watching the documentary does make the hairs on the back of my neck stand-up, if the opportunity ever came up to row again - would I say yes or rather could I really ever say no......answers on a postcard please (or in the comments box below).

But as a reminder to some and an eyeopener to others enjoy part 1 of the Sky News mini documentary of the row - Endurance.



Part 2 will following shortly.

Remembering Exercise Atlantic Challenge - 2004

The last few minutes of the Sky News Documentary about the Atlantic Row in 2004 with Jacko; it always reminds me of the epic which we endured for over 78 days and leaves me questioning why would I be so happy to do it all over again.
