LONDON (Reuters) - Cincinnati schoolteacher Bryce Carlson set a record for the fastest solo unsupported west-east row across the North Atlantic ocean on Saturday and also became the first U.S. citizen to complete the feat.

The 37-year-old landed at the port of St Mary’s in the Scilly Isles, off the coast of south-west England, some 38 days six hours and 49 minutes after he set off from St John’s in Newfoundland.

The previous record for the solo west-east crossing was 53 days eight hours and 26 minutes set by Canadian Laval St. Germain in 2016, according to the Ocean Rowing Society. (www.oceanrowing.com)

St Germain rowed a slightly longer route from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Brest in France.




I bet Canada and Europe are jelly. They're probably oiling up their oarlocks as we speak.

Native son of my Cincinnati :blush:

Hope we have a big homecoming party for him. This city is pretty great, has some great neighborhoods.

and meanwhile in another part of the world, climate change wreaks havoc as rising temperatures have driven the locals to extreme lengths in finding ways to cool off

Holy cow. What a feat. That is incredible stuff.

That sounds terrifying. On a row boat...alone...in the middle of the Atlantic...in a fucking hurricane.

You could say that again. Melville is long-winded. Moby Dick was probably one of the most challenging reads I've ever made. But a good one.

I've been wanting to see an interaction between Seagal and Trump for years

They are so similar

Both alleged sexual predators for decades
Both have extreme (to the point beyond ridiculous) ego issues and are dishonest (compulsively) about and with themselves at all times
Both use similar manipulation and deception tactics during interviews and interactions for self fluff with similar intentional speech patterns
Around the same age
Both incredibly insecure with silly heavily doctored hair
Both have huge mancrushes on Putin

Hopefully someday an interview or recorded interaction happens.

Until that day comes we have some reading to do

Canada to ask allies to help cool Saudi dispute; U.S. offers no aid

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada plans to seek help from the United Arab Emirates and Britain to defuse an escalating dispute with Saudi Arabia, sources said on Tuesday, but close ally the United States made clear it would not get involved.



I wonder if this isn't a new direction for the US.
We always get accused of getting involved, so maybe the new direction is to let countries that have a problem with other countries... to deal with it on their own?

They were telling him to go back to his country, it's pretty clear who they supported.
