Crossing the Atlantic Part 2 - Second Half of the Altantic Rowing Race

Written by Lin and Rachel at sea:

"Just a very brief blog today to tell you all that we’re so excited today and have cause to celebrate again. A quick text message to Tony at HQ gave us the confirmation that at 09:00hrs this morning we had rowed 1,286 n/miles from the start and have 1,284 n/miles left to get to the finish.

Rachel Smith and Lin Griesel have set off to set a new world rowing record. The ex-work colleagues plan to beat the current world record for crossing the Atlantic set by Becky Thorpe and Steph Temperton in 2006 (71 days, 22 hours and 24 minutes). Their plan to gain maximum advantage? Row naked!
