Rowing 3,000 Miles Across the Atlantic Ocean

Really bad ass... we can only hope the toilet, laundry, & showers were different buckets

BIG UPS!!!
To you and the ladies🥂🌹
What an accomplishment of a lifetime.

Lovely story, awesome adventure. Well done to you all.

What a wonderful and inspiring story!!

wow just wow wonderful people you girls rock love your outlook on life your all amazing

"anyone could do this" ...sorry dear.....no...they can't. That level of discipline is unique....you are unique... That is a special set of humans that do this. Maybe if someone really...realllllyyy want to do this they could, but I suspect few people have that much want, that much ability, and that much fortitude to accomplish this. Hats off to you guys and gals...y'all are amazing.

This has to be one of the most impressive feats I've ever seen in my life. Perhaps it's my fear of the ocean saying this, but even just thinking about doing it, let alone actually doing it, makes me anxious. Congratulations to you ladies.

A very special, honest video. Thanks for sharing your adventure! xx

wow!

Its a liitle old hat these days with GPS, EPIRBS radio etc, John Ridgeway did it in the 1970s, zero help or support

😲

Why the hell would anyone do such a pointless thing. What am I not getting?

Want to see a another amazing adventure? Search for the Brazilian: Amyr Klink, the guy rowed acrossthe Atlantic in 1984; all by himself -ALONE-…no GPS… no watermaking…

Aleksander Doba (9 September 1946 – 22 February 2021) was a Polish kayaker known primarily for his long voyages crossing oceans. In 2010 and again in 2013 he kayaked across the Atlantic Ocean westward under his own power. The two voyages were the longest open-water kayak voyages ever made. He was named 2015 Adventurer of the Year by National Geographic. In 2017 he completed an eastward kayaking trip across the Atlantic. He died while climbing Kilimanjaro after reaching the mountain summit.

How did you fund the journey,?
How do one search for this kind of water craft?

This is amazing. well done!

this is amazingly awesome and crazy

I am so jealous you got to experience a true dark sky. Seeing the Milky Way must have been aweing

I absolutely loved this narrative. Bloody good show by these women. Major respect.

Thank you for all the lovely comments about this 🙏🏼
Here are some answers to common questions and comments below:
1. BUCKETS
We had 3 😉

2. SEASICKNESS
Fortunately, I do not suffer from seasickness. Neither did Ros. But Kate and Kirsty did quite badly, despite taking medication. They still showed up for each rowing shift and gave it their all. Major respect to them 🙌🏼

3. STAYING ON COURSE
We had an autopilot (sometimes known as an autotiller) which steers the boat and keeps it on course. It's very handy but also very unreliable as stops working often.
We would keep our eyes transfixed on the compass and bearing screen on deck to ensure we were always heading in the right direction.

4. CAPSIZING
The boats are made to self-right if they capsize. They flip up the right way in a matter of seconds. Fortunately, we never experienced it.

5. WIND & CURRENTS
The wind and ocean currents are in favour of this crossing some of the time. Saying that we still had to row in order to make good progress. A boat left to drift would take around 120 days to land west of its start pointing - whether that be Antigua, or crashing into Guadeloupe or a similar island. I write this as some have suggested that the rowing aspect of this challenge is negligible.

6. PERIODS
They still happened. We just got on with it. It was no worse than poo-ing in a bucket.
PMT didn't exist because we were focused on other things.

7. FRIENDSHIP
We remained friends after the challenge, however, I do not see them much as we live far away. Me and one other ended up working for the race afterward which was pretty cool.

If you have any other questions please ask them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them 👍
