A four-man crew recently rowed for 30 days to set a record in a boat race across the Pacific Ocean.
The crew rowed from San Francisco to Hawaii in record time, as part of the Great Pacific Race, a rowing competition that pits two- and four-person teams against one another in identical boats on a journey across the open ocean.
The crew rowed in two-person, two-hour shifts for the entire trip, 24 hours a day.
The captain said that, believe it or not, the rowing was the easy part, and the two-hour breaks in-between were the hardest, with resters having to find ways to eat, sleep, stay healthy and clean.
The team beat the previous race record by more than a week when they arrived in Waikiki.
