We did it, together. Rowed almost three-quarters of the way around the Earth at the Equator - 30 million meters!  A million meters a day!  And we beat our goal of rowing a latitude circle around the Earth from the boathouse at latitude 42 degrees. It took us all - juniors and adults, challenged and able-bodied, old timers and novices. We needed every team member's meters to get the job done.  Great work everyone!

Special thanks to Tom Gonsiorowski, Barbara Herrmann, and Ellen Minzner for organizing the movie events - what a difference those days made to our totals.  And thanks too to my co-captains, Nonna Gale and Dave Johnson, who helped make sure that all the meters logged were entered online.

We're planning a team celebration on Saturday, March 3 at 9 am - rowers brunch!  Plan to come and meet your teammates and talk about getting back on the water.  If you can help with the party (shopping, setup, cleanup,) please email Janeat: jgmorse@morses.net

And, a BIG thank-you to Jane from all of us for her enthusiasm, fantastic updates, incredible dedication, and of course, her meters!

Bryan Fuller, an Army veteran who first picked up an oar at CRI in April 2011, is completing final preparations for his trans-Atlantic row which commences February 19th.  

Undertaking this momentous adventure with his fellow rowers of Team Titan, Bryan's goal is to raise awareness of the benefits of CRI programs for military and veterans. He packed a box of homemade beef jerky to share with his 7 fellow rowers, along with a very small bag of gear. Bryan will row 15 to 18 hours a day and he will spend his down-time sleeping under the deck of rowers. 

Together Bryan and his team hope to make the crossing in record time. You can follow Bryan and the other Titans at: www.titanrow.com  and on Bryan's facebook page at:  bryanrowsanocean 

In support of Bryan, Dallas Rosacker, fellow CRI rower, will be accompanying Bryan as he pulls his own virtual trans-Atlantic Row of 4,747,564 meters from the CRI boathouse right here in the Community Room.

 Andrew "Dallas" Rosacker, USMC Recon 0321 and paralympic hopeful,  was deployed 3 times to Iraq from 2003 to 2007, serving as a Marine team leader working alongside Navy Seals. Dallas would like to captain a military crew to help him in his virtual trans-Atlantic row.
