On a dark November evening in London two friends, James Adair and Benjamin Stenning, tired of the daily commute and getting ever closer to methodically knocking peoples mobile phones out of their hands, agree that it is high time to row an Ocean.
Starting in Geraldton, Western Australia and finishing in Port Louis, Mauritius, the race course spans 3,100 miles of open ocean.
The race will be done in specially designed self-righting boats which have enough space to carry food and supplies for approximate duration of the passage. The estimated time of crossing for a pair is around three to four months.
Entrants will row in solo, pairs or fours boats. Ben and James are entering as a pair. In the last Indian Ocean Race in 2009 four pairs boats set off on 19th April but only two completed the race. The two successful boats completed the race on 30th July and 31st July.
Ben has chosen to raise money for Tumaini, please support him by donating at:www.justgiving.com/Ben-Stenning
