On this date in 1969, John Fairfax of Britain arrived at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
to become the first person to row across the Atlantic alone.
Rumor has it his first words were:
"I claim this land for the Queen of Spain...is this India?"
Well, it could have happened that way...you never know...
all that time alone in a rowboat...
