**Rowing at night in dry warm clothes and with moonshines is a much better experience than many night shifts of putting all wet clothes, socks, hat, gloves, shoes…within a day, most of my dry clothes were wet. The great news is that we may only have a few more rainy days left in our 572 nm remaining journey.
**we spotted a big dot moving fast towards us. Snoekgracht is a heavy working engine boat returning to Rotterdam NL. Captain is gracious enough to steer passing our boat. When we get closer to UK, marine traffic will be quite busy. Our AIS alert system will keep us safe, and most importantly we’ll be alert and on the watch.
**we did not get the favorable wind as we expected because we are in a blue zone (no wind zone). That means hard work on the oars and I enjoyed every stroke!
**Ran and I dedicated today’s row to our friend Alex Lewis who is a quadruple amputee. Alex’s 12-person team was suppose to rowing with us. We wish Alex recover well!! Ran and I did legs only, arms only, and power 10! Alex, you are in our prayers and thoughts.
572 nm to go!!!
