crackers Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpendectomy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 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.

And don't tell me I'm spraying because you're talking about rowing in a climber's forum! 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?

Gary_Yngve Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Erden rocks! He's funny too! His semi-daily reports rowing across the ocean kept me motivated while I was finishing my thesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I've climbed with the guy and he's really fun to be around. Not sure why anyone would want to put him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
