Big Blue and her crew of 16 will depart Morocco in early January 2011 and arrive in Barbados less than 33 days later to claim the fastest Atlantic crossing by OAR. No motors or sails, Big Blue is entirely human powered. The crew of 16 will row 2 hours on and 2 hours off, for the nearly 800 hours they are at sea. They will be rowing non-stop and unsupported!

Brother Report: On the way down to Tarfaya, Aleksa saw a Minke whale breach right by the boat, saw a Finback whale swim by, and was followed by maybe 100ish dolphins, including baby dolphins, who would race ahead of the boat and then watch it go past. Aleksa is now out in the ocean, and reports come in slowly. The Brother will update as news comes in.
