During my 75-day row across the Atlantic, I kept a blog on this website. Here is that blog, complete with every single bad pun, grammatical error and embarassing photograph that I posted while I was actually mid-Atlantic. So, sit back, get yourself a crumpet, and enjoy the inane ramblings of a rapidly deteriorating fool.
