Video Of The Day: Lewis Colam Rowing From Miami to NYC
I stumbled across this video on Vimeo. It's an introduction video from Lewis Colam and the first of many to come. Lewis is a 24-year-old man from London. He's spending approximately three months rowing from Miami to New York City. He's doing all of this to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's disease research. Along the 1,400-mile journey, Colam will face many obstacles – prolonged sun exposure, bugs and the challenge of having no support boat or team following him along to ensure his safety. I enjoy following adventures like these, especially when they're being documented on film. Check it out here.

No surprise here, with the price of airfare. I'd do the same if I could afford a row boat.

good luck ..ive been off shore fishing most of my life, and that small rowboat,,, well one wave from the side will flip that thing right over, i only hope this guy has some experience at sea and isnt just doing this on a whim. the sea can change from flat calm to 8 foot white caps in just a few short hours ..and with no support boat, well.. i just hope this guy makes it ,,good luck to ya man, your going to need it !!!

The intercoastal waterway is protected from swells and sea waves.

Granted, it's a long way to row, but this guy will go up the Intracoastal Waterway. He doesn't need a support boat, because it will be wall to wall, from Miami to NY.

I've always wanted to snorkle up the east coast, in a wet suit, flippers, goggles & flippers.

I HAVE CRUISED THE INTER-COASTAL WATERWAY FROM MIAMI TO BALTIMORE . PIECE OF CAKE. YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. LOTS OF PLACES TO PUT INTO AND EVERYONE ALONG THE WAY IS FRIENDLY.
