I didnāt really pay much attention to the whole thingā¦ I didnāt realise that it was initially a two man job and he just decided to plough on himself when the other lad bailed outā¦ Fuck me thatās some going
Some mental battle out there Iād say.
There were several attempts this year to row across the Atlantic. All started as multi-rower teams. All bar Damian failed. Heās a freak of nature.
Didnāt realize that.
He was saying he probably ended up doing an extra 600 miles once the other lad left, because when he wasnāt rowing, youād be going back towards where you came from.
Sure it must have been soul destroying.
Gussy was a lucky man to make it off alive. I doubt many would have lasted that long either, so thereās no shame in it. Especially when you consider itās not that long ago he was told heād never walk again.
Sheās some bird this Joanne McNally, some pair of legs under her. Youād love @HBV to still be posting here to see what he thinks of her.
Came across as a sound skin.
Iāve met him a couple of times. an alright sort.
The north easterlies gave him a fair dig out
I wasnāt following closely, but wasnāt Browne cutting the back off him and calling him a useless cunt barely two weeks in?
Hated him
A week?
Tbf I think the cunt is a little unhinged - I thought half the reason was to milk the corporate dollar but itās actually only to pay for the next adventure. I might join him on Peak Lenin
Sheās hit a nice niche for herself. Fair play.
Not quite. He was commenting on his non-stop negativity.
Heās like a fella that will go down the motivational speaker route, whatās his day job or does he have one? Heāll have to have one eventually so heāll probably hone in on this area.
If i was him iād be absolutely fuming at getting marooned on rocks due to circling Galways for a few days waiting for the wife to arrive at the pier, heād to be brought in on a rescue boat, would have been a far more effective ending to row in himself. To fall short right at the end must have been galling.
Fall short is what he does. No biggy
Yep the first few weeks were damo moaning about gussy. In fairness your man dropped two of the three shit pots in the water in the first week or so.
Iād say there was zero chance of them completing it together. They started off with 1 hour shifts and then our shifts and they seemed absolutely wanked after a few weeks of it.
Iām seeing a pattern here
The Sherpa, Gussy and the rocks of Furbo.
