Alternative Travel To The Caribbean May Be Unrealistic
British travel to the Caribbean in recent months has been overshadowed by the rise in Air Passenger Duty. The British Government reclassified economy class travel to the Caribbean, resulting in a 50% rate hike. Critics of the scheme note that a trip to Los Angeles, some 12 hours away, costs more than a trip to the far closer Caribbean. So how to beat the rates? You could row there. It can be done within just Thirty one days now.
Proving that air duty fees never stopped anyone from enjoy the Caribbean, a five person Durham University crew undertook a titanic journey for Holidays in Barbados in the days between January 6th and February 7th. 3,000 miles, 31 days, 23 hours and 31 minutes before landfall in Barbados, the crew set off from Tenerife. This easily beat the 33 day, seven hours and 30 minutes record that has stood for the last three years. With only two hours rest at any one time, the team took turns to row in shifts of three, rowing constantly for twenty four hours a day. Even with optimal sleeping time, precious little comfort would have been on offer. Barely as wide as a bathtub, the 40 foot multihull boat was incredibly cramped.
And if you were serious about taking this unconventional means of transport to get to your Holidays to Jamaica, you'd have to contend with the same bodily wear and tear that these rowers did. The rowers found themselves blistering up terrible, and they even began to reshape their seats to alleviate some of the pain. Worse still, in the increasingly tropical air, it became essential to air these sores with a unhealthy dose of nudity. The one female crew member was less than impressed. 'I've seen enough male dangly bits over the last month to last me a lifetime'. Presumably then, 'enough' is 'four'. Personally, if getting the Tropical Sky of the Caribbean by boat is really going to involve full frontal nudity and 'danglies', I'd rather run there. Or maybe just fly.
