continents that he went through. Unfortunately he was only able to climb three of them
because of bad weather and financial problems.
Erden spent a lot of time on the trip rowing his boat. His journey across the Pacific Ocean took
312 days. Being alone for that much was not at all easy, but he kept busy by listening to

rest, think about his trip and spend time with Nancy.
