It’s true - last week was full of late nights and early mornings! It was also full of laughter, old friends, new friends, inspiration, great memories, sea swims and sunshine. Our hands are tired but our hearts are full - not as tired as those who are rowing, so nothing to complain about.
Such a privilege to be able to help some of the teams this year who are getting ready to set off 3000 miles in the 2026 .toughest.row from La Gomera to Antigua. Not only is it a honour to work with people whose bodies are in peak physical form but also to hear everyone’s stories and why they are here about to set off on such an incredible journey.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - this isn’t a rowing challenge, it’s a challenge of the human spirit. Good luck to all the teams, we have YB downloaded and will be following your journey.
For those coming back to Scotland we’ll be here to pick up the pieces in a few months time. atlantic
