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?"

    She's both French AND a woman. Poor soul has nothing going for her in this adventure.

    We must consider ourselves elite and distance ourselves from mainstream sports in order to preserve our fragile egos. Ergo rock climbing, cycling, and apparently rowing are "geek" sports. All I can say is, what the fuck?

    Or maybe you all are faggot Macintosh users. If that is the case, please report to the nearest retraining center in order to have your manhood restored.
