Misty Albion resident John Beeden (John Biden) established new rowing rowing record across huge ocean open spaces. He overcame the Pacific Ocean alone (arrived in Australia from North America) non-stop for 209 days.

However, weather conditions have made their own adjustments to this. amazing journey and the brave sailor of the twenty-first century (which, incidentally, 53 years old) arrived in the city of Cairns just before Happy New Year, and specifically – December 27th. He overcame the overall complexity of more than eleven thousand kilometers (6.1 thousand sea miles).

True, he didn’t leave from North, and from South America, and spent on this journey all 159 days (sailed from the Chilean city of Concon to the Australian the city of Mooloolaba). However, he also said something similar about this. merging with God when your consciousness separates and you see yourself as if from the side floundering in a small boat in this the vast ocean of being. Note that usually people see this in time of clinical death or in deep meditation …
The British set a new record as the Pacific Ocean from North America and before Australia sailed alone on rowing boat is only his fellow countryman Jim Shekhdar (Jim Shehdar). It was in 2001, and Jim spent 274 on such a risky journey of the day.
