The Pacific
John Fairfax, the 3 3-year-old English adventurer, and a com panion, Sylvia Cook, were due to leave San Francisco on April 25 to row 7,000 miles across the Pacific to Australia. Fairfax, last year, became the first man to row solo across the Atlantic, and now is hoping for a Pacific “first” to row the Pacific. In their 35 ft rowing boat, Britannia 11, they started with 1,300 lb of food and water—two-thirds of what they will need. They expect to fish the balance from the sea in the 10 month row.
