If you're 40.
Instead of regretting that you can't wake up at age 20 again, pretend to yourself that you're 90, and you've woken up at age 40 again, and that you get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.
The flowers of Remembrance. Hour after hour an unceasing pilgrimage of bereaved mothers, wives, daughters, and sweethearts lay floral offerings on the Cenotaph. Armistice Day, 1920.
The end is in sight 👀
The @RevivalOcean crew are getting closer to the finish line of their 3500km row across the Indian Ocean. 🌊
With the coastline of Tanzania fast approaching, the team have made their predictions for their date of arrival in Africa.
Make sure to tune into BFBS Radio every Tuesday afternoon to hear @bfbshatch check in with team for exclusive updates! 🙌🚣♂️
The @RevivalOcean crew are less than a week away from completing their epic row across the Indian Ocean 🚣
This has thrown challenges at them: a capsize leading to deep lacerations, and, in the last 48 hours, an electrical blackout onboard meaning no power and a glitchy AIS 😱
WORLD RECORD MAKERS 🏅
After 72 days and 10 hours on the water, the @RevivalOcean team have just made history to become the first crew in a traditional ocean rowing boat to row across the Indian Ocean from mainland to mainland, setting off in May from Geraldton, Australia and making landfall on Friday in Kilifi, Kenya. No engine, no sail and no support - just four rowers with a joint ambition. 🙌
Led by Royal Marine Matt Mason, the team have overcome storms, a capsize at night - that broke equipment and lacerated a crew member’s face - sores, injuries and exhaustion.
And their boat - No Great Shakes - is now the only rowing boat on the planet to have crossed four of Earth’s oceans - Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and now the Indian. 🚣♂️
Well done to the team! 👏
