The End….
So the adventure comes to an end. But what an end….36 days at sea and we pip Titan by an hour and ten minutes. Unbeleivable! We were greated by family and friend at the yacht club in Port st Charles. To be frank was great but a little strange. Having spent so much time on…
School Reports….
As we near the end of the voyage i have decided to write school reports for the crew: Livar Nysted Livar is from the faroe islands. He is an experienced ocean rower and this is clear to see. His previous voyages have seen success and failure and therefore he is an ideal role model for…
ETA is Thursday…
Looks like our eta is thursday 2.30pm. Cant wait to arrive but sad the adventure is finishing. Cant wait to see everyone, enjoy a beer and some good food. Our auto helm broke again so we have manual steering with Leven and Culum helming until thursday. We have still managed to maintain the pace. Infact…
Day 30
Day 30, I love these trade conditions. We have been getting distances of 90 stat miles plus each day. Should get a ton today. It seems relatively easy compared to the rest of teh row. (I hope I am not tempting fate). The sun is out and Leven is desperately trying to get a tan….
On day 28…
Dear all thanks for the kind comments. We had some slow wet days as a new front came through and finally on day 28 we got typical trade routes weather! Hooray. Looks like we will make high 90s today and possibly a ton if we are lucky. last ton was 18 days ago. What do…

24 Days nearly over
24 days nearly over. I was listening to 5s greatest hit last night. Epic. I had forgotten how cheesy they are. I tried to organise a disco last night. we put our head torches onto flash mode and bang some tunes out of the speakers. Leven did say we would need to stop the…
Start the countdown
morning all! tommorow I will start the countdown from 10 in my head. It might take longer or less. As we enter the fainal stages of the row i think about how we have matured as a crew. Things which might have unnearved us we now take in our stride. Last night…
Day 22
hi everyone. its day 22 nearly day 23. It looks most likely we will complete this crossing in 33/34 days. Unfortunately the currents this year have been a nightmare and we run into eddie after eddie. It has not been your typical trades routes. I dont feel bad about this. One lesson you learn…
Day 20……
96stat miles on day 20 really lifted the guys. unfortunately the currents have turned again and we are in for another hard slog. Its ok though. At this point we are most comfortable. we have got used to life on an ocean rowing boat. I can see how people can do a 100+ days at…
