The Woodvale Trans-Atlantic Rowing Race starts one month from today on Sunday 6 December. Liberty Nyamezela is on her way (thanks to Schenker) and should arrive in San Sebastian, La Gomera, soon. Pete and his shore manager Cliff are flying out courtesy of Virgin Atlantic on 20 November to make final preparations for the race, and check that Liberty Nyamezela is shipshape. Her set up needs to be perfect because Pete will rely on Nyamezela completely as he rows 90 minutes, then rests 90 minutes, 24 hours a day, during the race of between 50 and 90 days.
Anchor sponsor Liberty has created a place on www.own-your-life.co.za where you can track Pete's progress online. There's also an opportunity to support Pete's charity, the Carel du Toit Centre for the Deaf in East London, by sponsoring Pete's distance.
Or to keep a tab on Pete's progress while you're away on your holidays, why not sign up with Carel du Toit to receive sms updates throughout the race. A donation of just R100 gives you an sms a day, or R50 for an sms every two days. All proceeds go directly to Carel du Toit. See here for more details.
