Artemis Rowing Team Crossing-paths with the QE2
On July 19th, we posted about the start of the Artemis North Atlantic Challenge when the Artemis Rowing Team set off from New York Harbor to break the 114 year old record for rowing across the Atlantic. The previous record had been set by Norwegian fishermen George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen, who rowed across the Atlantic in 55 days, the first on record to have successfully completed the voyage.
The new record set by the Artemis team is 43 days, 21 hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds! Our congratulations to the Artemis Rowing Team captain and crew – Don Lennox, 41, from Glasgow; Ray Carroll, 33, from Galway and Livar Nysted from the Faroe Islands.
