"But, 306 days in, things started to get literally a little too rocky for Soanya.
When I was too sick to keep going, it was understood I would get off and he would keep going, Soanya Ahmad described, and I would do what I have to do on my end.
On a rescue yacht Soanya headed for shore, not yet realizing that what she had to deal with was having a baby. Surprise! She and Stowe discussed it by satellite phone, which would become their weekly connection. She would stay in New York and he would finish his journey
Fast forward to June 17th. Its been over three years since Stowe has been in New York, let alone anywhere in sight of land."



His wife stayed on that boat for almost a year before she gave up. What an incredible lady. She also had the baby and waited for him for almost another 2 years. Most couples would have gotten divorced over that. What an amazing story, thanks for posting.
