The Big Row

Mr. Frei is planning a very long row this summer….in this 16 foot boat…and for a very good cause! I’m planning to row my Adirondack Guide Boat from Troy, New York, to Baltimore. Why? Don’t ask. Not now. It’s a longer story than it is a row. You’ll read about it in the Journal…. If ‘ole Mr. Frei completes what some have termed this “nonsensical adventure,” he’ll have rowed about 450 miles.

Aug 11 - Beach Haven, NJ - Back in stride

The winds turned around today so Mr. Frei was able to row 40 miles in 9 hours. It was a big wave day, like a "Nantucket sleigh ride", enormous surf with the boat taking on a lot of water. However, the weather was beautiful.

He is staying with his friends Andy and Sandy tonight on Long Beach Island, and feasting on spaghetti bolognaise. You can see information about the Barnegat Lighthouse, which he passed today by double clicking on the Title above.

Correction from Andy Steginsky:
39 miles! Really staying at Skip and Gail Cimino's house, Sandy's sister
and brother-in-law. (They live in Brant Beach, Long Beach Island.
