Arabian Ocean Rowing Team pass final checkpoint in historic Atlantic adventure

arabnews.com

DUBAI: The Arabian Ocean Rowing Team have passed the final checkpoint in their ambitious attempt to become the first UAE-flagged boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean unsupported and unassisted.

The three-person team had rowed about 3,463 km in 29 days at sea by Monday night, after battling storms, 15-meter waves, extreme heat, and close calls with cargo ships.

The team are active for 24 hours a day on a rota of two hours of rowing and one hour’s rest in a boat a little bigger than the average family car.

They are completely self-reliant, carrying all the food, medical supplies and equipment they need to complete what is expected to be a 50 to 60-day crossing.
