LaticMark Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 According to local journalist Ken Bennett, on Facebook, Frank's boat has already capsized twice!! FRANK: HIGH SEAS DRAMA By Ken Bennett "Intrepid sailor Frank Rothwell, 73, survived when his boat capsized twice today in his 3,000 mile solo bid to cross the Atlantic raising funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK. In an exclusive interview with Oldham Community Radio 99.7 fm, Frank’s son, Luke, spelled out the drama, saying though the boat went in its side the Trojan sailor was fine - despite losing special momentos given to him for Christmas by his family.

The full interview can be heard on Oldham Community Radio 99.7 FM" Another update on his facebook… ” UPDATE FROM FRANK Today is day six of the World's Toughest Row and, so far, Frank has travelled more than 242 nautical miles (approx. 278 miles). We’ve just spoken to Frank. These first few days have been hard, with a long 14 hour day rowing to get past the first waypoint and some motion sickness. His boat also temporarily capsized in a storm this morning, leading to his Emergency Position Radio Beacon (a device to alert search and rescue services in case of an emergency) breaking off and washing overboard. But there is a second one on the boat which is secure, and Frank is safe. Frank continues to find the positives in everything and is happy and safe to continue. We’ve been sharing your messages of support and donations to Alzheimer's Research UK with him and his son, who he talks to everyday. Please join us and get behind Frank by leaving messages of support below for us to share with him when he next checks in. : The World's Toughest Row.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Just a thought, and I don’t speak for all Latics fans, and I don’t know how we’d go about it but why don’t we ask Dorking to donate the £1000 they are putting behind the bars in Dorking to instead donate to Franks cause. I’d certainly rather that than receive a free drink in a pub in Dorking. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re only making a suggestion, and a very good one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as a thank you to travelling fans, the gesture is also aimed at the football club putting something back into the local community. Leave as is I say. No doubting that Marc will have also sponsored Frank - two top blokes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
