[QUOTE="Long Haired Samson, post: 1147076, member: 13182"] I know nothing about seamanship or sailing but I would think sailing across the Pacific Ocean is very serious business. It's not something to be taken lightly. It's 2,761 miles from Oahu to Tahiti over open ocean. The Pacific Ocean is a dangerous place for people who don't know what the heck they are doing. Back in 2014 a married coupled rowed from Monterey, California to Hawaii. This couple went through extensive preparation and training. They even practiced what do do if their boat capsized. The couple are well trained endurance athletes and very fit. They made the trip in 45 days. I wonder if they banged on the trip? Hahaha. They must have brought a ton of food to keep their bodies sufficiently fueled to keep rowing basically 24/7.
