Salty Science

One year ago, the four of us arrived in La Gomera for the last bits of preparation before the start of the World’s Toughest Row—Atlantic. What an adventure that was! Not just the 5 ½ weeks offshore, but the nearly three years of preparation to get to the start line and have a successful crossing . We recently added a page or our website to share what we learned along the way for others thinking about tackling this or another similar challenge. Our experience might be especially relevant to North American teams (like tips for importing a UK ocean rowing boat into the USA), but some or our suggestions (like watch schedule that worked for us, physical and mental training, boat systems, etc..) could be relevant to any team. Check it out here https://saltyscience.org/advice-to-future-rowers/ ; we hope it's helpful!

Such a great video to watch and relive some of this crazy challenge we took on along with 37 other teams. Congrats to the entire fleet of the World's Toughest Row Atlantic 2023!!
