Not really a C-Dory topic but I think these 2 guys deserve an honorable mention. A great example of preplanning and seamanship in a small boat.
This week Chris Martin and Mick Dawson aboard "Bojangles" (23ft long and 6ft wide row boat) rowed under the Golden Gate Bridge making history.
They are the first to row successfully across the Pacific Ocean. They left Japan in May of 2009 and rowed under the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday the 13th, November 2009. For more on their trip visit www.GoldenGateEndeavour.com
