Genre: History Publisher: Canadian Wildlife Federation Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 41 Description: Three years into this Atlantic journey, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) joined as Title Sponsor to create the CWF Africa to the Americas Expedition. We outfitted the boat with scientific instruments and satellite communications to turn our rowboat into a floating classroom and laboratory. On April 6, 2013, we had our emergency. Our rowboat capsized and did not self-right. Using sea survival training and safety equipment kept our drama from turning into tragedy and the rowers were rescued in 12 hours. We left the rowboat behind. With CWF’s support, OAR Northwest mounted a successful mission to retrieve the boat, then drifting 400 nautical miles north of Puerto Rico. The rowboat, tens of thousands of dollars of scientific equipment, raw scientific data and documentary film were all retrieved.
