Two local men doing a trans-Atlantic row
You may have noticed a wee bit on our Links page mentioning this incredible ambition two men from Newlyn have to build thier own boat and then row it, yes, you read that right, row it, across the Atlantic. I've seen the waves that crash on this coast and I tell you, there's nothing on earth would get me out there in the shipping lanes in a 40 foot swell.
But they're not just doing it because they think it'll be a laugh, they're doing it all for a very worthy charity, the Cornwall Blind Association. Now, I can't begin to imagine all the skills you'd need to be able to even consider this, boat making aside, the navigation and survival skills plus the astounding fitness levels required just boggle my wee mind. We think that's just amazing and so we're doing whatever we can to help them.
We're creating a few products for them to take with them to keep thier skin in great condition (it's hard to make things foam in salt water, but we'll crack it), some special balms etc for thier hands and muscles, we'll keep you posted on how that goes. But in the meantime, please take a look at thier link and get in touch if you think you can help in any way, sponsorship's a great start, but maybe you have some practical help you could offer too? These guys are doing all of this off thier own backs, literally, so please help them if you can. I think they're absolute heroes, let them know what you think.
