I know the Atlantic has been done. I know that a PW guy has done the gulf of Mexico (Arthur Hebert (sp?)). I've read an account of a guy who paddled from California to Hawaii. But has anyone ever done the entire Pacific? Yes, if "rowing" equates to "paddling," and a crossing from Japan to Oregon constitutes the entire Pacific. He landed here about five years ago. Do not remember his name. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Apr 06 2000 - 07:33:40 PDT
