made an attempt to row the Atlantic East - West from Portugal to Suriname in the boat Atlantic Wholff
Left Sagres, Portugal on January 24 2008 at 12:00GMT
February 16th 2008. Yesterday, Feb.15th at approx. 7pm Pieter was picked up. The boat was abandoned - even though they tried to tow it, the storm was too strong to allow it. Pieter is safe, late afternoon he arrived to Funchal and joined his family . ORS Int. contacted Falmouth Coastguard who have requested Portuguese Coastguard to put an exclusion zone around Atlantic Wholff. Arrangements are being made to pick the boat up.
*February 27 2008* Pieter Hennipman dreamt of rowing the Atlantic solo, but the reality was proved very different to his expectations... >>> See photo of *Atlantic Wholff* taken from a passing by ship Kassiopia on March 1st at 11.55GMT >>>
