Rower to repeat ocean crossing attempt

Peter Williams from Cork city, who in January 2009 was part of a 14-strong international crew which attempted to break a world record for crossing the Atlantic, will depart from Agadir in Morocco aiming for Bridgetown in Barbados.

He will be part of a six-strong crew skippered by Englishman Matt Craughwell, and will be accompanied by a second Corkman, Mike Jones, 29, from Cobh.
