Having successfully crossed four different oceans by rowing between 2006 – 2012, Eru\u00e7 is estimating a 10-month crossing of the Pacific Ocean before making landfall. This will be the first mainland to mainland crossing of the Pacific between North America and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a unique perspective out at sea in which to capture the attention of students and other ocean advocates<\/em>,\u201d said Eru\u00e7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
