Goal

Setting off from Portugal in December 2023, Team Oar Blimey will independently and unsupported row across the Atlantic Ocean to Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

To keep the boat moving 24/7, Oar Blimey will take alternating turns at rowing for 2-hours, then resting for 2-hours.

Blisters, salt rashes and sleep deprivation will be the norm for this challenge and every ounce of physical and mental endurance will be required to complete it within 3 months.

Dementia has touched so many people and raising money to help local people live with dementia is a great cause. The community spirit at the Fox Glove was clear to see at our quiz night and we are pleased to support and help you. Good luck with the Atlantic Ocean crossing.
