Ocean Rowing

Having been dropped from the GB squad, Martin turned his attention to Ocean rowing and in 2005/06 rowed across the Atlantic Ocean solo, as part of the Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race[9] in 68 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes to become the 31st solo ocean rower to cross the Atlantic Ocean on the East to West route.[10] During his row he also conducted observations on the ocean currents affecting his boat Pacific Pete for Earth & Space Research as part of Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR).[11]

Martin remained an active member within the Ocean Rowing community and was one of the co-founders of the Association of Ocean Rowers.[citation needed]

After this Martin spent three years preparing for a double handed row with Mick Dawson. On 8 May 2009 Martin and Dawson set off from Choshi, Japan into the North Pacific Ocean.[12] After an eventful journey where the crew sighted the US Naval research vessel SBX-1.[13] [14] and ran out of food requiring a helicopter resupply [15] from Wayne Lackey[16] 189 Days, 10 Hours, 55 Minutes after the pair set out from Japan they rowed their boat Bojangles underneath the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday 13 November 2009.[15] [17]

In 2010 Martin and Dawson were given a Guinness World Record for being the first team to row across the North Pacific Ocean.[18]

In 2011 Martin set up New Ocean Wave, to arrange a race across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii, to be run in 2014.[19]
