Jan. 01, 1969 - Single Handed Rower of the Atlantic Sets Off Las Palmas. John Fairfax, 31, set off off from Las Palmas last Monday in his 22ft self righting boat Britannia, to row single handed 3, 500 miles to Florida. The journey should take about three months, and if he is successful, he will be the first man to do this. Photo Shows: John Fairfax seen just before he left on his lone row across the Atlantic
