My friends Brother "Tiny" Little arriving in the Caribean after his epic sigle handed row across the altlantic. What feat!

Why does that man have a wire coming out of his ice cream? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seriously though a remarkable feat of seamanship and determination.Do you have any more details about the crossing?

I've just read 'Bold man of the sea', Jim Shekdhar's account of rowing the Pacific. Mind boggling. As one who gets knackered rowing across a boating lake I'm full of admiration for these guys.

These sites have more details about 'Tiny' Little:-

I read Tom McCleans book about His trans Atlantic row. He built his own boat based on a grand banks fishing dory and was the first to row the atlantic.

He went on to sail the Atlantic in the shortest boat .Someone did it in a shorter one so he cut a bit off and did it again.

I think the boat was called "Difficult passage "or similar.I think the title refers more to the man than his exploits.He had a very hard start in life brought up in an orphanage ,brushes with the law etc .
