    Thanks for pulling this together guys, it should be fun.
    I'm in Australia and it's 10.30pm here so I'm off to bed. Goodnight and I look forward to rowing the world together :)

    So does the calorie counting start today?? I'm not all up on the way this is going to work. Captain, can you fill in the details??

    And the graphic is cool - love the name. But I agree, if it could be shaped/sized more like a ticker that would be fantastic. Perhaps all our names don't need to be there...???

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/277355-row-the-world-rules-and-questions-please-bump this is the link she had posted on the first page with the rules. I am not sure of the start date either though.

    OK, I just scrolled through and saw that it starts TODAY - July 1st.

    I've already finished my exercise for the day (I'm a morning workout kind of gal) and I'd like to report that I've burned 1210 calories. So if 50 calories = 1 mile, then I'm contributing 24.2 miles today - YAY ME!!! :happy: :bigsmile: :smokin: :laugh:

    Sparky, this is for you:

    Everybody, listen to me,
    And return me, my ship.
    I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
    Although I'm feeling mighty sick.

    I've been lost now, days uncounted,
    And it's months since I've seen home.
    Can you hear me, can you hear me,
    Or am I all alone.

    If you return me, to my home port,
    I will kiss you mother earth.
    Take me back now, take me back now,
    To the port of my birth.

    Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
    To take my ship away from me?

    You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
    So, please don't take my ship from me.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

    I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
    And it's tightening, around my throat.
    Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
    Take this stranger from my boat.

    I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
    Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
    Everybody, listen to me,
    And return me, my ship.

    I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

    I'm getting closer to my home ...
    I'm getting closer to my home ...
    I'm getting closer to my home ...
    I'm getting closer to my home ...

    "I'm Your Captain"

    OK - this is so exciting!

    I will start a new thread for us that is closed just for us, under the team name Jack SparRow Row Row.

    Here's the basics:

    You will need to report calories daily. If you can report in the following manner:

    Date: calories

    This way if you are in a different time zone (or across the pond) I can keep track.

    The rules are here:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/277355-row-the-world-rules-and-questions-please-bump

    Here is the map to show our progress:
    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004a634fce3156d39f06&msa=0&ll=49.876938,-5.350342&spn=2.063771,4.938354

    We are counting your daily calorie burn. Every 50 calories is a mile. Then our little boat will move on the map. :)

    I'm sure there are questions, so please ask on the new thread. Sorry if there is any confusion - I promise I am doing my best! :)

    For the ticker sized graphic, challenge is mis-spelled. (sorry)!

    I logged some more calorie burn at the park today for Canada Day!! Will look for the thread so I can report for the day. :smile:
