That reminded me of my team rowing across the Atlantic ocean but watching the storm video again doesn't seem that impressive in comparison: https://youtu.be/3barM5C7ecg?t=184

I'm seriously impressed you pulled that off in something that small. I know that people have done it in smaller boats but rowing a vessel in waves many times the length of the ship must present some pretty interesting challenges.

Wow that is an amazing achievement, those waves are scary, especially being so far from assistance in such a small boat. Did you manage the whole journey without major issue?

Our 9m boat was surprisingly stable even in 6m waves. As long as you don't rotate sideways the risk of capsizing is pretty low

Wow that looked amazing. How monotonous was it on a day to day basis?

Ah 9m, ok, that's bigger than it looked on the video. As long as the boat is longer than the waves you are dealing with you should be relatively stable.

You don't really think in terms of days but 2-hours shifts. And some of them felt like they would never end, especially in the dark at night

I imagine there were no 8 hours of sleep for anyone during that time. How did you train yourselves to operate at that capacity with such little sleep?

That's excellent! I rowed in high school and college... but this is very next level. I love seeing stuff like this, thanks for posting the vid here!

You are, still pretty scary at first. I tried our kayak for the first time this summer at sea, maybe 1 m waves or so. Boat is 5 odd meters, and at first it fleet scary, was fun afterwards so! Quite a change after lakes, rivers and maybe some wind at most. Being sideways, you have to return at some point, was adventurous for a noon at sea kayaking like myself!

That's incredible. I have so many questions!
