Mission Accomplished: Phuket Aussie sets world record with Row2Rio
Isaac Stone Simonelli

PHUKET: -- After 3,400 miles and 55 days at sea, the four extraordinary rowers on the Row2Rio team set a world record after powering their way across the Atlantic.

“We departed Portugal and have landed safely in Brazil to an emotional reunion with family and friends,” wrote Luke Richmond, Aussie expat and head coach at Unit 27 in Phuket, yesterday.

In the past five years, Mr Richmond has climbed the biggest mountains on six continents, been held captive in West Papua and has endured many ‘suffer-fests’ on expeditions around the world.

55 days of two-hour cycles of rowing, followed by two hours of rest

A lot of sit down time and nowehere to walk. In itself has to be a world record.

If they rowed in their own boats...alone....they would have done it naked.
