(St. Mary’s, UK) — There’s a new record in the books after an Ohio schoolteacher rowed his boat into the port of St. Mary’s Saturday in the United Kingdom. Bryce Carlson set the record for the fastest west-to-east solo row across the North Atlantic, the first American to complete the challenge. He made it from Newfoundland, Canada in 38 days, six hours and 49 minutes, beating the old record by 15 days. After braving storms and other dangers in his 20-foot boat Lucille, Carlson came ashore before a crowd of spectators. As for his condition, Carlson said he felt a little wobbly.
