Question: What toilet facilities are on the boat?

Filed under: Diary — admin @ 2:50 pm

Answer: Simply really, none! As much as I would like an en suite with shower, all I will have is a ‘bucket’, as in the term “bucket and chuck it”.

Question: How will you sleep?

Filed under: Diary — admin @ 1:26 pm

Answer: Quite easily, I lay down, shut my eyes…..no sorry..sorry….. That’s my warped humour kicking in.. After rowing for most of the day I assume I’ll be ready for a bit of shut eye – on board I will have a bit of electronic wizardry called “CARD” Collision Avoidance Radar Detector that goes in to alarm should a ship/tanker approach. It has a range of up to 30 miles but there are variables such as wave height.
