Dave Brooks: round-the-world rower

From the Exeter Express & Echo: Rower Dave is still going strong in bid to conquer oceans.

Intrepid rower Dave Brooks is now into the second week of his record-breaking attempt to cross the world's two largest oceans. Dave, from Topsham, is tackling some of the world's wildest sea conditions in a bid to row 13,000 miles solo around the globe — the furthest anyone has rowed in a single expedition.
