PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSONWhile many griped and grumbled during yesterday's persistent rain and cooler temperatures, it failed to register on Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov's radar. To date, no-one has successfully rowed across the Southern Ocean and round Cape Horn. The first is from Dunedin to Cape Horn, in Chile. The second will begin in December 2019, from Cape Horn to Cape Leeuwin, in Western Australia. Mr Konyukhov is now waiting for a strong northerly to help push him southward into the Roaring Forties, where he will then head east towards Chile.
