Row, row...
Well, it’s not quite gently down the stream. A young man called Bhavik Gandhi — a 29-year-old Mumbai-bred, Sweden-based venture capitalist — is rowing all by himself across the Atlantic Ocean. He set out from La Restinga off the coast of Spain on February 28 and is said to have just reached the midpoint. Bhavik’s publicists say he is expected to reach his destination, Antigua, 3,000 nautical miles away, sometime in late June. For that, he rows 10-12 hours a day in four-hour shifts in a 23-foot boat. When he completes his journey, he will be the first Asian to row solo across the Atlantic. Why does he want to cross the Atlantic? Because, as the mountaineer said in another context, it’s there.
