(Mashable) If you’re going to row a boat across the Atlantic Ocean, you should probably do it naked.
At least so goes the thinking of John and Kurt Schwartz, who are doing just that — rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, naked.
No, hear them out. The two brothers (John is 33 years old, Kurt is 29) figure it will take more than a million oar strokes apiece to complete the voyage. Conditions will be wet, and often cold. You want to reduce friction as much as possible, to cut back on blisters and sores and such.
So, naturally, you row au naturel.
