John Fairfax passed on February 8 at 74. 

He had rowed across both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 

His 1969 six month cross of the Atlantic was the only recorded solo rowing cross of an ocean.

He crossed the Pacific with his girlfriend Sylvia Cook in 1972.   They were the first people to row across the Pacific.  It took them 361 days to go the 8,000 miles.

Lent begins.  

It is the Christian faith’s period before Easter to meditate and fast.  

A time to take an interior journey of introspection and reflection.  

To cross the oceans of one’s soul.
