Graham lands Puffin

Salty sea dog, Graham Walters landed one of the oldest ocean rowing boats in St Barts having rowed across the Atlantic from La Gomera. After 99 days at sea Graham had battled against the weather as he attempted to get into Antigua but got swept further north by currents and wind.

Congratulations to Graham for a brilliant row. (His 4th) Full details are on the ORSI website

President Allum

The first man to row across the Atlantic Ocean from East-West in a double has agreed to become the President of the Association of Ocean Rowers. Geoff Allum has been involved in Ocean Rowing since 1971 and has helped several Ocean rowers already by hiring out his boat “Pacific Pete”. The committee are delighted that Geoff has decided to join the AOR and look forward to the AGM in the Autumn.
