Has anyone ever taken any long distance rowing trips? Yeah, I've heard of those two guys who canoed across Canada, and I think there have been attempts to cross the Atlantic in a kayak, but I'd be interested to hear from those who take sculling trips, if such things have ever been done.
I know of only one tour like this (aside from ocean rowing). A husband and wife team made a rowing journey from Scotland to Syria a few years ago, traveling either by rowboat or bicycle, with their boats on trailers behind the bikes. The trip looks like a dream, but of course the guy who did it was 2007's "Adventurer of the Year". Do normal people do this sort of thing too?

That is about all I can think of off the top of my head for rowing specific.

(There are also communities of Mississippi River rowers, and some good books of their experiences.)
