"Frenchman Jo Le Guen, who failed trying to cross the Pacific rowing from New Zealand to South America, will be brought into hospital tomorrow. "Palliser Bay", a container-ship, that got the severely hurt in board in the southern pacific will then reach Magellan-street.# The 53-years old rower gave up his try approx. 3860 kms before reaching South American coast due to (sorry, poor translation of medical terms) infected feet, hypothermia and circulatory problems. Le Guen started in NZ on Feb., 2nd."
