there was this guy from italy and he rows boats so he went to peru and tried to row all the way to Australia. he took 10 months rowing 9500 nautical miles across the pacific. when he was 65 nautical miles away from the coast of Laurieton, Australia. He lived off of dried foods and dessalinated ocean water. He had a small cooker to fry fish and boil water for pasta. He's not thef irst person to cross the pacific ocean in a rowboat by themselves. He also crossed the Meditarranean and atlantic. He was reallly close to australia when the weather started getting really bad. he used all of his energy fighting winds for a few days and then called his wife form his satellite phone telling her that he wasn't going to finish and he was done. She called the coast guard who went and got him. t hey towed him in to Newcastle where he reunited with his wife. He's not sure if his trip is the longest solo journey. He doesn't plan on going anywhere again soon. Right now he plans on going back home and relaxing.
