Adventurer and entrepreneur Omar Samra and triathlete Omar Nour have rowed 129 nautical miles — and have 2,475 more to go — on the fourth day of their 5,000 km journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The two faced some trouble on day three of their expedition, including unfavorable weather conditions and dehydration after their water maker malfunctioned. Things are now looking up as favorable waters and good winds helped the duo reach an important milestone: “Our emotions went up and down and we were elated when we lost site of the shore and could only see the ocean in all directions,” Samra says in his daily update.
