Atlantic Mavericks make it home

Four self declared “ordinary chaps”, all in their fifties, who relish a physical and mental challenge have completed the superhuman task of rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. They have all served for at least 20 years in the military and share bonds of friendship through playing rugby together over many years.  They consider themselves extremely fortunate to be able to even consider attempting such an adventure at this stage in their lives.  Rather than dashing off to buy a sports car, they decided to push themselves to their physical and mental limits and achieve something quite incredible. Embarking on the mission to give something back and inspire others to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Atlantic Mavericks make it home

It’s no surprise that more people have been into space, or climbed Everest than have rowed the Atlantic, it is a huge challenge.  Rowing the 3,000 miles across the Atlantic tested the limits of their physical and mental strength to achieve something unthinkable and remarkable.  It takes a certain kind of person to keep going when faced with blisters, salt rash, sharks and sleep deprivation.  

Well done to the entire team, an incredible achievement and all for good causes, it isn’t too late to show your appreciation, their fundraising site is here: https://gogetfunding.com/atlantic-mavericks/
