1,000 Days Non-Stop at Sea!

Reid celebrated his 333rd day out at sea on 3/20/08, he is a third of the way completed on his 1,000 Day Voyage. Good News will be speaking to him to keep everyone informed, until then go to http://www.1000days.net for the latest info. Here is the Press Conference for 1,OOO Days Non-Stop At Sea The Mars Ocean Odyssey. On Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 3 P.M., Captain Reid Stowe and mate Soanya Ahmad will depart the Hudson River on the 70 ft. Schooner Anne to sail the oceans of the world out of sight of land without re-supply for 1,000 days. Imagine having everything two people could need to survive for three years packed into the space of a bedroom. They have it all onboard. Reid Stowe designed and built the Schooner Anne as the ultimate long distance sailboat and has proven her in Antarctica, around Cape Horn and on other voyages for hundreds of days at a time. Because of the similar length of time as a Mars mission and human factor issues, Reid has promoted the voyage as a space analogous expedition Seafarers of today provide a role model for spacefarers of tomorrow.Should Reid and Soanya succeed, they will have departed the touch of the terra firma longer than any human has before. The voyage is a supreme act of seamanship and evolved athletic skill, but it is also a voyage of the heart. Once they cross the equator, they will follow a course the shape of a heart as big as the South Atlantic Ocean and then they will continue to sail around the world. The proposed course of the heart, photos and other stories from the longest voyage in history can be found on www.1000days.net.
