Salty Science

It’s about the journey not the destination, for sure—and that’s definitely true for ocean rowing! It’s a LONG journey across and it’s hard, scary, tiring and painful for much of it… but it’s also pretty amazing at so many points along the way. And the feeling of getting to the finish line is just incredible!!!!

Here’s a quick glimpse at the last few minutes of our race, as we were rowing into English Harbor, Antigua, after over 38 days at sea—just as the World's Toughest Row media boat came to greet us. You hear Noelle tell Lauren “Think about Cady!!” (Cady Hart-Petterssen who was our coach), as they were rowing extra hard for a few hundred meters through our turn north into English Harbour with a strong wind from the East which made the approach into the narrow channel quite challenging (hence why Chantale laughs with “we’re not even going to hit the buoy!!” which was not a given just a few seconds earlier). Noelle’s “prizes” are the flares that we lit just moments later to celebrate our arrival in Antigua!!! 🤩
