The rowed trip
This weekend I finally met Colin and Julie Angus, an explorer and adventurer couple from Canada.
They did the first human powered world circum navigation and Julie was the first woman to row the Atlantic... some amazing people!
I was lucky enough to take the shots for their latest adventure http://www.angusadventures.com/rowedtrip/index.html where they are doing a 5 months long human powered trip from the North of Scotland to Syria.
They will go there by bike and by rowing boat and they have left this morning from Duncansby Head.
I will attach some photos that I took over the past few days...

As you dont have a true reference point in having a propper "horizon" it looks like the waterline is dipping. Thruth is, Stroma is much closer to the eye than Hoy.Originally Posted by rob16d
There might be a slight barrel distortion going on and I could have run a program over the pic, but then Colin and Julie would look funny....I prefer it that way!

I should have paid better attention at my chemistry lessions as I asked Colin this question...Why were their boats called Tantalum and Niobium?
Aparently their main sponsor is a big mining company in Canada and they are researching those two elements
I thought the names were well cool....i
