Making heavy weather of it
10:14am Thursday 17th August 2006
SWINDON man Ben Fouracre is currently heaving his way across the Atlantic in a rowing boat.
The former Headlands pupil and his three Army colleagues are now 534 miles from Falmouth, though their progress has been hindered by the weather and they have moved only 31 miles closer to home in the last 48 hours.
To follow Ben's voyage go to www.oceanfoursrowingrace.com and www.commando-joe.co.uk
