Pedal Power. NOT a Pedalo!

Pedal it.

Steve calls me to ask if I’ve thought about pedalling across! Left field or what! I’m thrown completely of course. I’ve spent 9 years thinking about how to put a rowing boat together to cross and ocean ignoring the biggest deficiency in my physique. I have no arm muscles to speak of and have spent my life cycling everywhere. I didn’t acquire the nickname of ‘chunkles’ for nothing. I know, you need legs to row, but be fair, you also need arms.

Steve has already found a boat. ‘Atlantic Song’ http://www.oceanrowers.com/?page_id=994 previously owned by Justin Coleman a comedian from Leicestershire. Of course he’s a comedian. Pedalos are for comedians aren’t they Freddie?

Seriously it seems this idea also has legs.
