In case you are wondering, I'll update my will with the completed list. Is there a wives forum so I can do the same with my missus?
But you will make it back. Be prepared for the worst and be physically and mentally ready to face it eyes in the eyes. That’s what surviving is all about… When do you depart?
This will be an amazing feat of stamina and endurance I wish all the very best of luck on your journey and we all look forward to your safe return
Amazing fella, the very best of luck! What an adventure! What a test! And what a square arse you’ll have! I’ll revisit this thread when I get home. Interesting stuff indeed. I’d love to know about it

I try and keep fit anyway but obviously been doing more rowing. That said it's not really a rowing challenge, it's a keeping yourself fit and healthy challenge, with limited resources. Currently I'm doing 5 short stints on the rower each day to replicate what the rowing shift will be ( we're a pair so most likely 2 on 2 off) . It's an eating race really
From what I read a few years back naked rowing’s all the thing as all contact points will chafe and high calorific foods to reduce your deficit each day. Good luck on your epic task.
I do 10k a day on a Concept rower and I'm kn&ckerd, so will be watching with interest. Will you be able to be live tracked?
I ain't rowing naked, not sure my rowing buddy could stand it, but you're right about the chafing ( and blisters, and sea sickness and not enough calories, trying to put on weight but failing miserably
Problem I found at endurance events is you get sick of having to constantly eat, towards the end I was eating food I normally don’t eat/drink. Dates, boullion dry savoury biscuits and flat Coke are stand outs. Some folk just can’t increase weight no matter what, I needed to gain weight years back found the only way was to eat 5-6times per day at regular intervals even if I didn’t feel hungry.
