Since our last ocean rowing roundup,<\/a> all crews have ended their journeys, and not a single one crossed their intended finish line.<\/p>\n

Atlantic Ocean<\/h2>\n

Tom Waddington:<\/strong> Waddington (UK) was attempting to cross the North Atlantic from Canada to the UK. Though new to the sport, he was aiming to break the 39-day speed record. With winds pushing against him almost every stroke of the way, he only hit the halfway mark on day 41.<\/p>\n

He has spent days on the para-anchor waiting to row and only had the odd sporadic day with favorable conditions. He also capsized multiple times, damaging or losing some equipment, including his Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). Then he had a change of fortune. The waves were big but they were moving in the same direction as he was. Surfing them, he began speeding toward the UK.<\/p>\n
