Erden...

[crackers]

He's made the mature decision to get a lift after more than 300 days at sea rather than keep drifting towards the typhoon season.

 

 

He might have made a tough decision, but what a trip!

[ivan]

bummer. that's gotta hurt. can't imagine why he'd have a problem being in a john-boat in 50 foot seas?

 

so what's his next step then?

[denalidave]

Wow, 300 days!

[ketch]

:rawk: Erden, Who knows he may come back to wait it out. I'm down with a littel slide show and to the man.

 

Way to go

It takes maturity to make that decision despite having invested so much in this passage.

 

Like our parents said ages ago, do your best. No one can ask for more.

I'm sick of everyone kissing that humorless windbag's ass!!! And don't tell me I'm spraying because you're talking about rowing in a climber's forum!

Did you create this avatar just to cut him down anonymously, or what? Fucking coward. Your opinion is worth less than shit in my mind because of it.

i've never met the guy - does he truly have no sense of humor? if so, would that still reduce the coolness factor of having rowed across most of the largest damn ocean on earth in a cracker-box?

Try staying alive after being chased by 150 million Nigerians!

Erden rocks! He's funny too! His semi-daily reports rowing across the ocean kept me motivated while I was finishing my thesis.

I've climbed with the guy and he's really fun to be around. Not sure why anyone would want to put him down.
