Two Men Prepare To Row Naked Across the Indian Ocean

Posted by samzenpus on from the bring-lots-of-sunscreen dept.

In what is sure to be the basis for the greatest feel-good buddy movie of all time, Roger Haines and Tom Lee are planning to take off their clothes, and row 4,350 miles across the Indian Ocean in a self-built boat to raise cash for charity. The trip should take 2.6 million oar strokes, 105 days, 14 gallons of sunscreen, and 5 uncomfortable glances. The pair hopes to raise £100,000 for charity, as well as becoming the first duo to row across the Indian Ocean.

    I hope they have planned to bring several tons of sunscreen lotion.

    Just because you can, does not mean you should.

    It's hard to rub lotion into your own backside, and perhaps they enjoy the occasional reach-around.
