Louis Ginglo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Ginglo was the first Canadian rower to cross the Atlantic Ocean singlehandedly from east to west.
He began his solo voyage on 20 January 2004 from St Sebastian de la Gomera, Canary Islands. The crossing was completed when he docked at Port St Charles, Barbados, on 20 May 2004. His journey of 4678km took 120 days. As a competitor in the Ocean Rowing Society’s 2004 Atlantic Rowing Regatta, Ginglo took his 8m boat, Moose On The Move, fully equipped for an unassisted journey.
Despite little previous experience, and a lifetime spent working in corporate finance, he made the crossing successfully and in good time.
