Very interesting read. The article linked from it about Erden Eruç is equally fascinating.<p>> The 62-year-old Wauna resident Erden Eruç (AIR-den AIR-rooch), already the holder of 16 Guinness world records, was on his way to doing just that when he launched his rowboat from Crescent City, California, June 22, 2021. After 239 days and over 7,800 miles alone across the Pacific for the second time, he became the first person to row from North America to Asia when he landed in the Philippines March 24, 2022, securing two more world records.<p>Wow! There is reflecting from both him and his wife on the preparation and mental effect this has on both of them.
