What an amazing achievement to row an ocean Atlantic Rocks - Team Forces is proud to have supported such an epic challenge. Terrifying to think that at the half way point of the row .... they were closer to someone in space than on land! teamforces.org/2024/03/13/atl…

Throughout the row, the team faced millpond conditions making it hard to gather momentum & using LOTS of physical energy 💪 whilst being mentally drained😣 This video also shows some amazing wildlife encountered🐬 As always, Just Giving link below ⬇️ justgiving.com/crowdfunding/a…

It has been a few days since our galloping Gunners Atlantic Rocks touched down to kiss the shores of Antigua. They rowed 3,200 miles in 61 days 19 hours 13 minutes. Here are a few memorable pictures of the crew. Cpl Binns lost 14.6kg and collectively the team lost 68.7kg.

Here we have Binnsy talking through foot steering🤯🤨 The auto-helm uses power & due to the system failure - they had to fall back to a less technological system to make sure they didn’t end up anywhere other than Antigua. 🧭 Seems straight forward right?🧐😱

FLYING FISH STRIKES🐟 🤭 The team had many flying fish strikes to face & body… not to mention the ones ‘creaming in’ on the boat.. As you can judge by Gus’ face..this is not pleasant as not only do they smell HORRENDOUS but create quite the impact🤢

61 days. 19 hours. 14 minutes. That’s how long it took Atlantic Rocks to row from Lanzarote to Antigua, covering an amazing 3200NM. 🚣 A challenging endeavour was made harder by difficult weather conditions & obstacles the team had to overcome. More 👉 ow.ly/xA6250R98s2

Our very own RAF High Wycombe based Cpl Binns from Atlantic Rocks lifts the lid on what it was like to live on an eight metre long boat for sixty days with nothing but focus, hard work and a dream of reaching the finish line. Read his story here bit.ly/3JGiX7m
