Rudern gegen Wind und See

Die Notiz fand ich gerade via einer Aussendung vom Practical Boat Owner :
(8 stone sind übrigens ca. 50 kg)

Eight-stone woman finishes the Altantic Rowing Race.

Londoner Roz Savage, 37, was the last competitor to finish the famous Atlantic Rowing Race on Monday night after 103 days alone at sea. The race, initiated by Sir Chay Blyth in 1966, takes place every four years. Of the 26 teams who crossed the Canary Islands start line in La Gomera last November, only 20 made it to the finish, some 2,550 nautical miles later.

The winning boat was powered by Olympic rower James Cracknell and Ben Fogle, who made headlines by doing much of the event naked! Ms Savage, measuring a comparatively tiny 5ft 4inches and weighing 8 stone, was the only solo woman to compete. She survived faulty equipment, broken oars and her boat capsizing during the voyage; she had not eaten any hot food since her stove broke in January. The rower's journey was brightened last month, however, when HMS Southampton, en route to Portsmouth, played Cupid, delivering a surprise Valentine's card to her.

und da wollen "gestandene" Männer nicht ein paar km rudern, wenn der Motor ausfällt

Hallo Rotbart,

Rudern? Zur Not! Aber muss es "naked" sein?

Merkwürdig - habe noch nie eine Valentinentagspostkarte beim Nachhauserudern zugestellt bekommen. War wahrscheinlich zu sehr bekleidet.
Die sind einfach weitergefahren:
