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.

I was made aware of this challenge from my son, who was told by his teacher at Darwen Vale High school. I think the teacher's brother is doing the challenge? Anyway, i don't give Christmas cards but give to charity instead. This year my boy asked me to give to this cause. So well done for even attempting something like this & good luck from The Holmes (isaac year 9) x

Good luck to all the team, I’ve watched you prepare the boat for months & im in awe of your task! Dementia is something my dad lives with so happy to support this charity. This is my donation instead of sending Christmas cards this year. I’ll be watching your progress.
