Rob's a world record holder
I mentioned a while back that Rob Loder-Symonds was part of a crew that was going to try and break the world record for rowing across the Atlantic. Well, they've done it - you can read Rob's account of it here.
This is a photo of Rob in training.
and here's the boat, La Mondiale, three miles from the finish.
33 days, 7 hours and 30 minutes. I dread to think of the state that their bodies must be in. Mind you, I guess each of the rowers must feel he can do anything now.
La Mondiale will be used in two further world record attempts. You can read about the plans on the team's website.
