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.

Fantastic achievement by our Notts guys! Plus catching a fish - wow that’s commendable and a genuine fishing tale to dine out on for years (with photographic proof)!

Innovation Nottinghamshire offered 3 Stags fans the chance to bet on their team against Notts County (You Pies!!!) - the net was £1 a mile that the guys did on Saturday. although no-one was brave enough to take us up on it, we lost so fair's fair - fortunately for us the weather & currents were rubbish on the day so the guys 'only' did 28 miles!!
