Vibe the Wave

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 bo

at...

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!
