Rowing the Pond Again

Posted by michael on from the you're-doing-what? dept.

Gudlyf writes "Anne Quéméré, a French woman who had previously rowed across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain to the West Indian island of Guadeloupe, is currently on her way to doing it again, only this time in the opposite direction. This season's challenge will take Anne 2700 nautical miles, from Chatham, Cape Cod (USA) to Brittany (France), her native land. She hopes to make it in less than 90 days. Is it just me, or does the giant fish on her boat scream 'shark bait' to you?"

    Can someone explain the nerd connection to me? I'm not seeing it.

    It's just you. Sharks like blood, you insensitive clod!

    Rowing 2700 nautical miles? No problem. It would probably just take me... Oh, a year or so to do it.

    And yes, sharks are attracted to BLOOD, not to cartoon fish.

    Didn't you read the blurb? This IS her way back, she already did it in the opposite direction!
