Vibe the Wave "Live the Adventure"

We are a trio of girls rowing the Atlantic in "The World's Toughest Row"

We are Vibe the Wave, a trio of girls rowing the Atlantic from La Gomera to Antigua; over 3,000 nautical miles taking on "The World's Toughest Row - Atlantic" (formerly The Talker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge). On 12th December 2023, the 3 of us will be alongside over 40 other crews ready to push off, on an incredible journey across the Atlantic heading west to Antigua, with just 6 oars in a 24ft boat...

Maddie, Grace and G will be rowing in excess of 1.5 million oar strokes, 2 hours on and 2 hours off for over 40 days, facing waves up to 30ft high and likely storms, not to mention suffer from hand blisters and bum sores! Our little boat will be carrying all our essentials including dehydrated food rations, a water maker (to desalinate sea water for drinking water), 2 sets of clothes each (no room for fashion), emergency kit and survival equipment.
​
It is estimated that each crew member will use 800 sheet of toilet paper (biodegradable of course), they will burn in excess of 5,000 calories (per person) per day, with the average rower losing over 8kg during the crossing and consuming more than 5L of water per day. Oh, and did we mention, there is no toilet on board!
​
It is a true test of physical and mental strength, determination and resilience.
​
More people have climbed Everest and have been into Space than have crossed an ocean! At some points during the crossing, the closest land to us will be the ocean floor more than 5km below the boat!

Welcome to Vibe the Wave !

We are three girls; Maddie, Grace and G, and we are rowing across the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera to Antigua in December 2023 in The Worlds Toughest Row - Atlantic.

Our mission is "To thrive in the adventure, rise to the challenge, have fun, work as a team with true spirit to over come obstacles and inspire big dreams."

Our objectives for the row are threefold:

1. Take in the scenery, enjoy the moment, be present and take stock of the journey not just the end goal.

2.Inspire women and girls to be driven by sport and adventure, and say yes to things that excite them (maybe even scare them a little) and find the freedom and exhilaration that adventure can bring and how this can translate into encouraging women and girls to be more confident and believe in themselves.

3. Highlight issues around sustainability. We are using a second hand boat to recycle materials and avoid any unnecessary manufacturing and carbon output associated with making a new one, we will be limiting our use of single use plastics during the crossing, we will be using only solar power to run our batteries, women power to pull on the oars, and we are also hoping to collect ocean plastic along the way to highlight the issues surrounding climate change and our ocean plastic pollution.

Keep posted on training updates, sponsorship updates and partnership announcements, along with our intro with "Meet the Team".
