I'm up for it. I have plenty of experience in rowing ships (as opposed to boats) having done so in Viking longships.
Mind you, it seems they only want Greek citizens to row it. Not unreasonable, but it excludes me.
Re: Row to Colchis anyone? - spyros - 08-07-2006
Yes, but in an article in another magazine (it's in greek) it says european citizens. So why don't you just aply for a rower and see what hapens :wink:

Can I be Talos, or one of those skeletons?
Seriously, sounds like a great venture. Go for it Paul.

Orjan gave to me quite an account of your sea adventures... :twisted:

Dear Spyros,
Many thanks for your efforts. I tried a variety of searches and came up with nothing. I shall write to Mrs. Sousouri today.
Dear Pancake,
I was only acting appropriately in-role. Vikings are well-known for grabbing the prettiest girls and carrying them off to their ships...
Dear Stefane,
I wish you luck, adelphe. It would be good to see proper enthusiasts for greek history on the ship, rather than a bunch of Ox-bridge University water-beetles!

Now I see why you chose to do Viking re-enactment in the first place... :lol:
Re: Row to Colchis anyone? - Anonymous - 08-17-2006
Well, I've written to Mrs Sousouri twice. Waiting for a reply...
