Bristol student Jamie Sparks rowing the Indian Ocean

Steve Le Fevre At Breakfast

Available for over a year

Bristol University student Jamie Sparks is at it again. Earlier in the year, he became one of the youngest people to row the Atlantic Ocean, as part of the "two boys in a boat". This time, he's setting out as part of a team of four, rowing 3,140 nautical miles across the Indian Ocean from Australia - to Mauritius! 304 boats have successfully rowed the Atlantic Ocean, but only 17 have successfully rowed the Indian Ocean.
