An adrenaline rush
It’s an adrenaline rush when you think of the fact that you will be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. A combination of fear, excitement and craziness which takes you beyond all boundaries. Blessed that you can make that choice and by doing so also helping others. That’s what the team Dutchess of the Sea will be setting out to do in December 2020 when they take on the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. Four Dutch women, Astrid Janse, Remke van Kleij, Bela Evers and Désirée Kranenburg will be embarking on this major feat of rowing more than 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean and by doing so, also raising money for ALS Netherlands and the Plastic Soup Foundation.
Every little bit helps. Thanks.
To help us in this exciting journey we are looking for your support, from the sideline to corporate sponsors. Take a look at our website for options in sponsorship.
What’s
The Challenge
The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the world’s toughest rowing event, starts in La Gomera in the Canary Islands and finishes in Antigua & Barbuda – 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. We will be guaranteed exhaustion from rowing in shifts of 2 hours on 2 hours off, storms and 50ft waves that toss our tiny boat, blisters, sea sickness, sunburn, lack of sleep, open sores and dehydrated food. A mental and physical journey awaits us.
