Offbeat, World: This guy must’ve gotten lonely rowing across the Atlantic alone

  • I’m definitely suffering from exposure to the elements and I’ve lost 20 pounds. This is definitely different from my life at home.
  • Paul Ridley • A 25-year-old dude who rowed across the Atlantic to raise money for cancer research. It took him 88 days; some days he’d row up to 12 hours. Along the way, he had to deal with a lot of equipment failure, seasickness (because, hey, it’s everywhere!) and sores (obviously). He should’ve just saved himself a bunch of time and played the imaginary “Wii Rowing” game we just made up instead. • source
