Ready, steady, go
06:45 a.m. EDT Jun 24, 2003
Renowned Rower Theodore Rezvoy is getting ready to take on the Atlantic. His attempt to row solo from New York to France is set to begin at any moment. The row is scheduled to take about 80 days. He has spent some time now before the trip at the CeBit tradeshow where he has showcased the boat he will row across. During the row Theodore will also be sending live pictures, text and audio. Should everything go according to plan then he will be able to send live video from the Atlantic Ocean for the first time ever on an ocean row.
Theodore is no stranger to ocean rowing as he successfully rowed the Atlantic ocean from east to west in 2001 making him the first from the former Soviet Union to row an ocean. Should this row be successful then he will become the first person to row solo from New York since 1896 and also become the third person in history to row the Atlantic in both directions solo.
