Shekhdar Southern Ocean Row Update–GACK!: Our boy Jim is making steady progress despite a few mechanical hiccups. The worst problem he has, in fact, is a case of Early Onset Stinkfoot. “Started fine 10-15kt W to WNW cloudy then fine – so much so that I took advantage and rowed for an hour naked – to get a little less smelly – it worked but found that the main source of the smelly cabin is the insoles from my wellies!” This is a devilish and age-old voyaging problem that modern technology has yet to solve. The colder it gets the more relief Shekhdar’s nose will feel. But this is not the sort of problem that gets better over the course of a long voyage. In fact, Jim….did you pack any nose clips?



Nice progress, buddy….And in the right direction, too!
