What's Happening in Hamilton, NJ…

A team of professional rowers is about to cross the Arctic. When they climb on board, Tyler Carnevale, from Flemington, near Hamilton, will be among them.

Carnevale and five other team members will row 1,200 across the ocean. Their goal is to break the current record. People seeking to break world records or to participate in endurance events can use printing companies to let others know of their plans and to raise support for their projects.

The plan is for each member of the team to row for two hours at time, then get a two-hour break. The team will row around the clock for three weeks straight.

The conditions will not exactly be comfortable; although it is summer and the sun shines in the Arctic 24 hours a day, it will not be particularly warm. The boat the men will be using does not have a motor or any sails, and riders will not be accompanied by a support boat, which would provide medical care as needed as well as food.

Carnevale is the youngest person on the crew, at age 23. He is also the only team member who does not have past experience rowing. However, he has climbed to the top of Mount Agung in Indonesia and completed the Salkantay Trek in Peru, and his commitment to and excitement for adventure helped land him on a spot on the crew.
