In July 2010  French oceanrower Mathieu Bonnier (Bouvet Rames Guyanne 2009) became the first person (to our knowledge) to row solo across the Baffin Bay. He started from Qaanaaq, north of Greenland on July 16th and arrived in Lancaster on July 28th 2010. Now he is proceeding with his expedition and is rowing solo along the North-West Passage ( 6500 km ), that links the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, north of Canada and Alaska.
Since 1903, when Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first to cross the Canadian Arctic from east to west, less than thirty complete crossings have been recorded and a single sailing without assistance of an engine

Mathieu's dog Tico, an Alaskan husky, is his only companion during the new challenge.

August 30 2010:  Oceanrower Ralph Tuijn set on a worldrecord attempt - "fastest human powered crossing of Africa". 12.000 km on a bike from Cairo to Capetown through 10 countries in about 75 days.

August 2011: (the expedition was intended to start in August 2010, but has been postponed for a year) oceanrower Ralph Tuijn (NL) will add more sea miles to his Atlantic and Pacific crossings by rowing in team with Pieter Smit non-stop from Amsterdam to Svalbard, aka Spitzbergen (the northernmost inhabited island in the world). The route of 2890km/1796 miles as the crow flies is crossing the northern part of the Atlantic and ending in the Arctic Ocean, so the working title of the expedition is: “80 Degrees North Challenge”. It will be the first time that an ocean rowboat is going that far north (record of Smurgis is 77˚ 44' N) and the second time that it reaches the Arctic ocean.
Note: Expedition website to be launched in Dutch and English


 

Summer 2011: A team of six intrepid explorers will depart from Resolute Bay, Canada in a rowboat in the Summer of 2011, heading for Magnetic North Pole. A crew of five will be led by oceanrower Jock Wishart (GB) More details >>>

     

 

Dec 2012: oceanrower Justin Coleman in team with James Mouland intend to convert an ocean rowboat into an ocean pedal boat and cycle from Gran Canaria to Barbados. Departure is planned for December 2012.
