LBC reported 2 hours ago that Maxime Chaaya finished rowing the indian ocean today. And as per his website, he completed the row in 57 days 19 hours and 20 minutes, so his team basically broke the previous world record, but we still have to wait for the official numbers I think.
Congratulations Maxime!
After completing the seven summits project in 2006 and the three poles challenge in 2009, Maxime Chaya is up for a new adventure in around 3 months from now, rowing the Indian Ocean.
Maxime’s journey will start in Western Australia and ends Mauritius off the east coast of Africa. And once the boat he’s boarding departs, there will be no way to turn back since the wind at that time will prevent it from doing so.
