Rowing to Austrailia.....From SF


Question - "What does having a dream mean to you?"
Answer - "A dream is a goal glimmering in the distance; it is an inner calling which, when accomplished,
serves as the rite of passage into wisdom." Erden Eruç - Sep 17, 2004

Erden is a madman! He plans to row from Bodega Bay (north of San Francisco) to Austrailia, nonstop and unsupported. This is a distance of almost 8000 miles and has never been done before. Not only is this an incredable goal, Erden is about to accomplish a goal of circling the globe under human power. He started in 2003 with a bike ride from Seattle to Alaska where he climbed the highest peak in North America: Denali (did I mention that he towed all his climbing gear behind his bike?). Then back to Seattle and on to Miami via pedal power. On each continent he reaches, he will also climb the highest summit. Did I tell you this guy was nuts?? You can follow his adventure by visiting his website. He has just departed Bodega and is trying to clear the land and get into the trades. Good luck to you my crazy friend!!
