How can it be "the worlds toughest row", when it would be so much tougher to be doing it in the other direction?

Which of those were against the prevailing winds? Ridgeway and Blythe did west to east from much further north, generally with the wind. It wasn't always like that of course and they had a terrible time, I've read the book. It was certainly much tougher than this lot have it.

Dawn and Paul will be doing exactly that in the future.

Against the prevailing conditions.
I see that a crew member has been evacuated from "Scotland the Wave" with the three remaining women carrying on. Less sleep but more food to go round? I hope the evacuee is OK.

Well not really. They are smart and very experienced ocean rowers so the return passage will set off from much further north in the season. I've sailed the return trip 6 times, it can often be a bit....not much fun.

I just found out that Dawn and Paul are using my friend Dave's old boat. I shall follow their progress.
