40 DAYS AT SEA

摘要

Row three hours, rest three hours. Row three hours, rest three hours. That is the current daily routine of Robert Hamilton Owens, a 71-year-old Air Force veteran who, alongside a crew of 11 others, is spending 40 days rowing approximately 3,500 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Owens and his crew, which include a police- woman from Norway and an ex-British Army soldier, departed from the Canary Islands on Dec. 4 and are destined for the island of Antigua in the Caribbean. The challenge, part of the Tal-isker Whisky Atlantic Challenge - although Owens and his team are not officially competing - will test the group's ability to work as a team, to weather the highs and lows of transiting the Atlantic in a rowboat, and to push themselves beyond what were once their mental and physical limits.
