Though this is not a race, the positioning of the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">boats<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> has been quite surprising. Soloist Gary Hutching has been in the lead for a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">chunk of time,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> while four-man crew <em>Row For It<\/em> brings up the rear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the end of February, <em>Row For It<\/em> discovered a couple of lockers on board their boat had filled with water. They pumped out nearly 100kg <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of water, perhaps explaining their slow start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the last few days, a tropical low-pressure system has caused chaos. Squalls, constantly changing winds, and strong currents have pushed all <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the crews off course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>75 days at sea<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Gabor Rakconczay (HU):<\/strong> Hungarian extreme athlete <a href=\"https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/hungarian-man-begins-canoeing-across-atlantic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabor Rakonczay<\/a> has completed his solo transatlantic canoe expedition. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After 75 days and 10 hours at sea, he arrived in Antigua on March 8. After departing from La Palma in the Canary Islands, he paddled 5,123km. He paddled for 15 hours a day, pausing every few hours to eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is his second solo canoe crossing of the Atlantic.

Stormy weather led to a broken thumb, and the journey took longer <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">than<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> he had hoped; by the end, his food supplies were dwindling.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As he arrived in Antigua, family members took a small boat out to join him for the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">last section of his crossing, and over 15,000 followers watched the live stream of him completing the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;With this, I consider my 18-year career in extreme sports to be closed, and with the experiences I have lived, my life will enter a new phase,&#8221; Rakonczay said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cyclist turned rower<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Annasley Park (UK): <\/strong>A\u00a0f<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ormer<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> professional cyclist, Park switched disciplines to take on the Atlantic. Starting in February, she set out from Spain toward Barbados. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It was a rough start. Within the first few days, huge waves led to a capsize, she couldn&#8217;t keep any food down because of seasickness, and dust in the air rendered her solar panels useless.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fortunately, things have improved. On February 26, Park reached the halfway point and says she is now enjoying the row. The cross swell that had been slowing her down was almost gone and forecasts predict a stint of good conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DHIxXADgzPO\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
