Atlantic &
Pacific Ocean Rower Gerard
d'Aboville,
a founding trustee of
the Ocean Rowing Society Please pass on to Jim Shekhdar my congratulations on his achievement of rowing solo across the Pacific Ocean unassisted. Seeing in the press the excitement of Jim's arrival reminds me of the tragic loss at sea of Peter Bird in 1996. I can say I knew Peter as a good friend and many times enjoyed his company in France. We had a lot to share, as Peter was the first to row the Pacific solo East to West , while I was the first to row the Pacific West to East solo. Peter also had rowed the Atlantic and so had I. Now I hear the British Marines are following my route from Chosi, Japan to America. I wish them bon voyage and a safe crossing. |

FEB, 26--READ NEWS ARTICLE FROM BAHAMAS BY LEE BENSON OF DESERET NEWS |

February 17th London |
| Yesterday, Richard
Jones on board Brother of Jared telephoned me on his Satellite phone, he
said "I am very scared right now, I have seen 16 ships today and I am close to land without a rudder" he asked me if Russian rower Slava was still planning to leave for his Atlantic row next in March, I told him "yes" Richard said "having this satellite phone has made this trip possible for me, tell Slava I know he has budget problems so I will loan him my Satellite phone for his trip, he really should have a satellite phone". I thanked him for this most generous offer and wished him luck for the last leg of his trip which will be the most difficult part of his journey, because he must pass several Islands safely before reaching Florida. |
