Fedor

Congratulations on the completion of your epic row. What a fantastic effort! It bodes well for the Ocean Rowing Society's race for 2004. Hope you are enjoying the hospitality of Port St Charles.

Rob Hamill

Congratulations to Fedor!

His record is fantastic, he is probably a tough guy :) When Emmanuel broke the record last year I told myself - nobody will break this record. The idea of what Fedor did is truly amazing.
I am leaving La Gomera tomorrow and I am looking forward to my own solo row to Guadeloupe. I do not expect to break any records, but I do intend to enjoy my trip.

News from AUSTRALIA

Kalbarri W.A., May 11, 2002
This morning I met Ted King (now 80 years old). Ted lived in Kalbarri in 1971 when Anders Svedlund arrived .Ted told me that he remembers being told (in 71) that an oceanrower had been swept ashore after starting his ocean row somewhere south of Kilbarri. Ted has some photos of Anders boat.
Anders stayed between 7-10 days and then was towed by a cray fisherman named Ernie Crocos to a position north of Kilbarri in the hopes of catching the current toward Africa, The record shows that Anders did arrive in Madagascar, it is not yet certain exactly how long the row took Anders. ORS will continue to research this.
