My story

 

If you've come here from my website, you probably already know what I'm up to. Please donate money. It all goes to FARM-Africa, who are a fantastic cause (www.farmafrica.org.uk).

If you haven't come from there then you may not know that I'm rowing the Atlantic, 3000 miles all on my own, but donate some money anyway and then go and look at www.atlanticrow2007.com to see quite why you're giving away all your money

Thanks!!

Sam

UPDATE 28th March 2008 - Sam arrived at English Harbour, Antigua on Thursday 27th March at 1558 local time (1958 GMT) after over 3000 miles of rowing and 75 days 4 hours and 43 minutes at sea.

His entertaining blog (www.atlanticrow2007.com/updates.php), read in the UK, France, S. Africa, Australia, Canada and the USA, gives a good idea of how deep he has had to dig in the last days.

Sam set off on January 12th and has experienced 30 ft waves, high winds, refugee boats, faulty power supplies, whales and other adventures. The conditions have not been helpful quite a bit of the time, but Sam and his boat, Pacific Pete both arrived in good shape.

Which would YOU rather do - make a donation or row the Atlantic? Please dig deep to support Sam and FARM-Africa to reflect the magnitude of what Sam has achieved for the African farmers. Thanks to everyone.
