What led this ‘expert’ to cross the North Atlantic in January, rowing from Portugal?
He should have known better. Exactly 3 years ago, he was in his ridiculous transatlantic drift in a barrel. Stubborn he started from the Canary Islands, while, in December, it was well known that the trade winds started 800 miles to the South at the Cabo Verde Islands.
In this Forum we laughed that he may finish on the Irish or Norwegian rocks…

This year the North Atlantic weather systems are similarly more southern as 3 years ago.
Starting from Portugal, 700 miles north of the Canaries at the latitude of the Azores, leads into the southern fronts of the North Atlantic winter depressions.
Did he expect to row against these strong westerly winds?
