Thank you for all the lovely comments about this 🙏🏼
Here are some answers to common questions and comments below:
1. BUCKETS
We had 3 😉
2. SEASICKNESS
Fortunately, I do not suffer from seasickness. Neither did Ros. But Kate and Kirsty did quite badly, despite taking medication. They still showed up for each rowing shift and gave it their all. Major respect to them 🙌🏼
3. STAYING ON COURSE
We had an autopilot (sometimes known as an autotiller) which steers the boat and keeps it on course. It's very handy but also very unreliable as stops working often.
We would keep our eyes transfixed on the compass and bearing screen on deck to ensure we were always heading in the right direction.
4. CAPSIZING
The boats are made to self-right if they capsize. They flip up the right way in a matter of seconds. Fortunately, we never experienced it.
5. WIND & CURRENTS
The wind and ocean currents are in favour of this crossing some of the time. Saying that we still had to row in order to make good progress. A boat left to drift would take around 120 days to land west of its start pointing - whether that be Antigua, or crashing into Guadeloupe or a similar island. I write this as some have suggested that the rowing aspect of this challenge is negligible.
6. PERIODS
They still happened. We just got on with it. It was no worse than poo-ing in a bucket.
PMT didn't exist because we were focused on other things.
7. FRIENDSHIP
We remained friends after the challenge, however, I do not see them much as we live far away. Me and one other ended up working for the race afterward which was pretty cool.
If you have any other questions please ask them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them 👍
Is an exfoliating mitt compulsory safety equipment? 😁
Wow... I have so many questions in my head 😳
Like:
(1) You've been underway for a significant amount of time, there was very little space to rest and everybody had to do their part. What happened, if any one of you got a little sick (did this not occur at all?) or ran into an injury (like strong shoulder pain for a few days or such)?
(2) You mentioned really high waves. How would laying in the cabinet work (intending to sleep), if the boat was rocking that much (and possibly throwing you from side to side)?
(3) The skin on my hands is quite sensitive and I wonder: How did you cope with your hands (and bottoms) getting injured?
(4) Sorry for going for a cliche, but I wonder: Would there have been significant impacts, when the one or the other team member had their time of the month? (As a male I'm in awe of your team's mindset generally and wonder, how one could keep up the fighting spirit against all other kinds of moods coming up.) Or was it just irrelevant because of the competitive effort?
Sorry if my questions are asking for so many details 😅
I want to know about the bucket stories 😅
This is so funny! We actually took it to clean to algae from the bottom of the boat. I repurposed it! ✋
hahahahaha, maybe another time 😉
"It doesn't matter how slow we go as long as we are going forward, we are making progress." 💛
This is a great lesson indeed!
7 days bed ridden, check yourself
10:20 :)
Just keep swimming, as a certain blue fish once said
Yep, goose bumps
She should really be named Laura Do
😂😂😂😂😂
Physical endurance is one thing (very impressive in itself by the way), but with 4 people on such a small boat I'd consider the mental/emotional stress to be the more serious issue.
Especially if you had trouble with sleeping and with all the other constraints. Amazing, well done!
I’m a mountain climber and for some reason CZcams recommended me this video. I’m lost for words. Not just the feat accomplished but the valuable lessons you manage to nail down so correctly and present to us in neat bullet point fashion. I’m showing this to my 5 year old daughter, I’m a man and would like to thank you for inspiring this whole family
"Everyone can do this" Yeah, nah. I've done some pretty hard (and badass, if I may say so myself) things in my life, but they all absolutely pale compared to this. This isn't negative energy or anything, I'm just trying to properly convey how insanely impressive this feat is. You guys deserve every bit of praise possible. Well done
This is hard physically and… super hard mentally after watching…. Mega hard physically
This is hard physically and… super hard mentally
@@johnnybravo5962 yeah, even if I believed I had the stamina to do it, that’s no cruise. I’d be done 6 hours in.
@@mansart26 oh really? then do it yourself ffs
I crossed the Atlantic twice today before I even had my coffe
this is pretty much once-in-a-lifetime journey. Hats off for the ladies!
Well you could do it more than once. But doubt you'd want too
I've seen a video of one man who did it by himself
What is the lesson we take from that?
The lesson is that take 4 women to do the job of one single man
@@rafaellima381 And how many of you would it take?
@@rafaellima381 absolute chad
@@Fabianwew He couldn't
I really love the internet. 35 years ago, odds are we would of never heard your amazing story.
It's not just about rowing. Very precious message for life : you're moving slow but you're faster than those those who have stopped rowing and drifted backwards !!! As long as you are moving forward you are making progress and you will certainly reach your goal !! Good encouragement for us !
wow i love this
Watching this couldn’t have come at a better time in my life, I’m a 43 year old concretor from Australia and I have been going through a difficult period for the last 4 years. This has really helped me to realise that we are capable of change and success in our lives but it helps to have a team to get there.
I’ll start with myself and stop pushing people away and build a team❤️.
Good on you Ben
Hi Ben, thank you for your comment and I wish you all the best.
I am pleased my video helped in some small way.
You will find a way I am sure 💫
Thankyou it will❤️
Mate, read the book 'Out of the Forest' by Gregory Smith - it will inspire you, I promise. Ps, I'm Australian too.
Step 1: Find friends that can get you high end corporate sponsorship.
Absolute mad women on that boat! Super inspiring to see how you cope, even when things gets hard. "It'll pass".. I just noticed that the company I work for was one of the sponsors for the trip. It makes me quite happy that they supported you.
Wow, this was so inspiring and heartwarming! As someone who struggles a lot with depression, sometimes simplifying what I need to do to help myself get out of a rut - messages like “just get on with it”, show up for shift, keep rowing, it’ll take as long as it takes - is honestly what I need. And being surrounded by people I love is one of the most important things through that. Thank you for sharing!
When you were talking about the headwind and how you felt demotivated because you had only gone 4 miles even with all of the effort you put in, but then you realized that those that gave up lost 10 miles, effectively giving you a net of 14 miles, and then you said "it doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you're moving forward and making progress" I started to tear up. It's so hard sometimes to see one's own progress when you only compare it to yourself, but when you zoom out and see how far you've gone in comparison to those that give up, it can make a world of a difference
This exact moment touched me deeply!
It's easy to miss the forest for the trees. You're right. I think it's down to how intangible it is. It's harder to notice positive changes like that than negative ones. And our brains evolutionarily are built to remember negative events more clearly than positive ones. It's better from a survival perspective to remember something that makes you feel bad. But as long as we're aware of it, and vigilant about being aware of it, we can get around it.
Yes, headwinds suck for any long distance activity.
I did the ARC+2018 and ended up on Antigua. I thought I did a challenge of a lifetime until I saw the rowers coming in to Antigua.😊I was there when you arrived. Respect!!!
Em..
I was crying by the end of this BEAUTIFUL video! That's one of the most real things I watched on CZcams. You, ladies, are incredibly strong mentally and physically. As a young woman, I will always look up to you. Thank you so much!
Hell yea, what a team, what a person! Hats off to all of you and everyone who's been a part of this.
This is another level of mental and physical fitness and capacity! What an amazing adventure and challenge with such strong attributes you can carry into your every day life! Amazing!!!!
I wonder how you all adjusted back to a normal full night's sleep. The first night must have been amazing - snuggling into a cool bed, knowing you would wake up when you wanted to - and not before!
Hey, that first night on a soft mattress and pillows, with a glorious duvet was incredible! except I woke up every 2-3 hours, mostly sleep walking, looking for the boat controls, nav, and the rowing deck 😂 It was very disorientating.
I bet the first real shower felt amazing too!
I wonder how could they sleep at all there
I'm tearing up here. You're an inspiration to all. God bless you for sharing your journey with us 💙💙💛💛❤❤
Really great…I’ve run 3 marathons and the first one changed my life…”one more step” put my head down and keep going…I called it “ my poor man’s Mt Everest” …your accomplishment is and was amazing… life changing and will be your companion for ever… congratulations and stay safe and sound…
When you reached the finished line I legitly got teary-eyed. This was amazing! Congrats to all of you!
Same here.
Same here. Great to hear that I was not only one :D
What a wonderful trip and thank you for making and sharing this video to everyone.
🤐 it Leo
it is just the music
The first two men to row across the Atlantic left from New Jersey in a modified lifeboat.
Somewhere along the way a ship spotted the “Survivors” and stopped and picked them up!
They protested but the Captain thought they were crazy from thirst. It took hours to convince him to let them go.
The ship was going back to USA so they lost that time snd had to re row the distance.
At least the captain had the intention 😂
People will try to leave New Jersey by any means possible.
You see, their mistake was using a modified lifeboat. If it didn't look like a lifeboat, it would have probably been easier to convince the captain that they weren't stranded survivors
Thanks God they were 2 men
If they were two women we would have a 40minutes video about atlántic crossing in which 35 minutes is about menspreading and feminazi shit
Your story of victory made me cry. You all said this too shall pass. Thank you. Love you all.
These ladies are absolutely incredible! I myself is going through some tough shifts these days, sometimes I can't see the sun! Your "just get on with it" message helped me so much! Thank you!!
I'm in the military, and 99.9% of the people I know couldn't do this. The sheer determination and loyalty to your teem is truly impressive.
That statement doesn't mean much nowadays tbh lol. I'm in the Navy and 99.9% of people around me are just as unfit and fat as your average American anyways. Modern day military is ran no different than your average civilian cutthroat big corpo. Being in the military doesn't put you ahead in terms of mental or physical prowess. People can do amazing shit no matter the background
Prior Service, and uh, yeah. I agree. These ladies are badass.
Air Force?

"JUST GET ON WITH IT" is what I need to keep telling myself everyday. Truly inspiring!
Yeah, like right now. I just need to get on with sitting on my rowing machine for 10,000 meters. I think that will seem easy today, compared to 3000 miles! I guess I need to remember that phrase.
I can't believe that i just watched this full video! I listen to every words you said and i started to feel like im on that boat, going through every difficulties you've encountered. Then when i see that you girls have reached the end, i can't believe that i actually cry. So proud of you girls, and just showed the world that nothing is impossible, and difficult circumstances will pass!
@aldgarbelamy7012 wait why are you surprised that you watched the full video? It's a fascinating feat to witness
GPO Grace und GPO Emerald
I love your comment but these are not really girls :) It's adult women above 30
You're simply amazing, your co-working, your strenght, is a symbol for everybody.
Watching this video made me realize how much of a challenge this is actually is. Both mentally & physically.
Before this video the difficulty and struggle would not even register in my mind. It’s absolutely crazy what you guys have achieved. Bravo 👏
Stefan, you absolute legend!
Thanks for watching this and for your awesome feedback. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Really? Before watching this video you seriously didn’t think 4 people manually rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean wouldn’t be hard? That would be on my list of hardest things you can possibly do as a human being, up there with being an astronaut or walking across a desert with minimal supplies and the people like these women for example that can endure crazy circumstances and as she said “just get on with it” need to be celebrated.
3000 miles in the Atlantique Ocean. I don't know but I do not need a video to imagine how difficult it might be...
Have you ever rowed before? Of course this is a challenge mentally and physically. Comments like these seem like free brownie points more than anything.
Wait wait, let me find a Tour De France biker and tell them how before I watched them ride, I didn't think a 2200 mile road bike ride through the French Alps was very difficult. But now I know it's both physically AND mentally exhausting! Wow, I'm such a stud for noticing that right?!
@@Scolecite Your petty comment says much more about you than the person you criticized.
This was absolutely incredible. Going forward into the dark endless void of the ocean, day or night. What an insane and beautiful adventure and story, thank you for capturing it and sharing it.
Inspirational! I have sailed across the Atlantic and seen those row boats in Antigua. I have immense respect for anyone who sets out to do what you ladies did
you guys brought tears to my eyes...thank you for the wonderful emotions...much respect and love.
Fantastic achievement Laura. In my 70's now and have massive admiration and respect for you and your fellow crew members. Keep enjoying life to the full, it passes by so quickly, so continue with your adventures while you are able.
Thank you sister. Your message comes at an important point in my life, where giving in to the pain of 65 and giving up on life goals is so tempting. I had an experience decades ago that taught me similar lessons, but I fear I had forgotten them. For some reason "just get on with it" means so much more to me than "just do it". You moved me to tears, and I thank you for that. God bless.
65 is the moment in life where one should ask himself "what will happen after i die". Find The One and Only God in this life before its too late
@@Mohamed-sh8fx I didn't have to find God -- he found me at 5 years old and captured my heart again at 26, leading me to serve him with my life. The Lord Jesus Christ is THE Way, the Truth, and the Light, no-one comes to the Father except through him. All other pretenders stand condemned; he alone has risen from the dead, he alone can grant life from death for others who believe in him and his resurrection. Many, many Muslims have discovered this truth, some at the cost of their lives for their understanding of this truth.
Don't leave such things to 65 -- what if you die at 64 and are judged? What if you die at 25? Are you in the book of life that Jesus controls? If so, what makes you think so? What your parents believed can't help you; you will stand before the King of all mankind to give an account of your own life, not theirs. These are the questions to ask as a youngster, not just as an elder set in their ways; again, for many that's simply too late.
P.S. I am 50 lbs lighter than at 65 and I only just turned 66. I am fighting hard to discharge my God-given duties in this phase of life, to be as fully healthy and energetic as I can be by my own efforts and believe God for the power to do so, which he provides. This video greatly encouraged me in this effort. To finish the race, to receive a "well done, my good and faithful servant!" from my teacher and Lord. And no-one has to die for it; all aspects voluntary. Love wins.
@@paulpvhl1930 And when Allâh said, `O Jesus, son of Mary! did you say to the people, "Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allâh?"' He (-Jesus) replied, `Glory to You! it was not possible and proper for me to say thing to which I had no right. If I had said, You would indeed have known it, (for) You know all that is in my mind but I do not know what is in Yours. It is You alone Who truly know all things unseen.
I never told them anything except what You ordered me to say: “Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord!” And I was witness over them as long as I remained among them. But when You took me,1 You were the Witness over them-and You are a Witness over all things.
If You punish them, they belong to You after all.1 But if You forgive them, You are surely the Almighty, All-Wise.”
Qur'an Surah Al Maidah, verses 116-117-118
@@Mohamed-sh8fx Go your way, old son. The ramblings of your desert "prophet", used by him to raise up an army to destroy armies of mostly fake "christians" are of little interest to me except as a lifelong student of cults (you know you belong to a cult, right, based on old Arab moon-god myths, heavily salted with misunderstood or false RC teaching; right?) Besides, a) I've read all your Qur'an, including latest research into why they changed 'raisins' into 'virgins' when speaking of heavenly rewards -- either way a disgusting concept in spiritual terms -- and, b) your supposed angel 'Gabriel' (a slanderous attack by the Roman Catholic trained Mohammed on the real Gabriel, though perhaps he met a lying demon), tells a COMPLETELY different story from the actually inspired scriptures' Gabriel does, one that does NOT agree with millennia of recorded prophecy from the one true God, unlike Jesus and his teachings. (Much of the Surahs contain badly rephrased teachings from the New Testament; repeating them badly over 500 years after Jesus' teachings were recorded is NO proof of inspiration; quite the opposite.)
I sat down on a British train while visiting England about 20 years ago facing a Muslim scholar. I had been delayed by hours to be forced into this particular train. The Holy Spirit said, "Sit in front of this man and listen to what he tells you." So I did. He travelled England teaching the highest leaders, the teacher said. He was very surprised that I, a by-faith Christian minister, should show such interest in his beliefs, and he talked increasingly freely and excitedly for the whole journey (I in no way doubt his sincerity, nor his deep desire to serve a God he did not yet know).
MARK THIS: everything he told me about the coming times and the rise of the returning Son of God as judge, introduced by their great prophet ("Oh, yes, we believe in Jesus as returning judge, though it was Simon who was crucified while Jesus ran away [an antichrist statement], we just don't talk about it openly!"), all he said about how the Muslims and Hindus would react ("Buddhists? Oh, they're just another form of Hinduism"!), matched EXACTLY what the scriptures state about the coming False Prophet and Antichrist. EXACTLY. I say again, you belong to a cult and my interest in humouring you further is now exhausted. This is my comment; write your propaganda in your own comment.
Brings back memories of being with my youngest son on a 12-day backpacking crew in June 2002. While at 95 miles to be covered in 10-days I bonded with my son and he with me for an adventure we will never forget. Your adventure was epic and is something you will always hold close to your heart. God speed
I love the story. People need to learn from this, especially in this day and age. Congratulations
Amazingly inspirational, I will remember: "it will pass" for a very long time... as long as we move even a tiny bit forward all the pain and suffering will pass and we will reach the target we set for ourselves! Excellent stuff, thank you for sharing!
The final part made me cry, words truly cannot express what you achieved. Congratulations!
I just stumbled across this video and I have to say, it is so inspiring! As a college student, I tend to experience a lot of procrastination and fall into some frustrating lazy habits sometimes. I think if you four strong women can do this, then I have what it takes to get simple tasks done! Thank you so much for sharing this and all of the motivation/lessons that you got from it, I am already applying some of these mindsets to my life!
Get assessed for ADHD. You might have it. Untreated ADHD is pretty catastrophic
You had me laughing, and crying, and completely inspired. Thank you for what you do. I am grateful!
I’m not the type of person that usually comments but just wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey. This was an absolute delight to watch and loved every second of it! Truly motivating! I will now try to live with your saying “Just get on with it” thank you again for sharing and can’t wait to see what your future journeys hold!
Seeing you be at your lowest, accepting the reality of the situation and powering through despite how you were feeling was awesomely inspiring.
I think this is the most inspiring things Ive EVER seen in my life. Just awestruck!
I always loved the boat analogies to life itself. Coming from someone who actually did it is very exciting and motivating! Thank you for doing it and inspiring everyone else.
I'm crying! This story is so amazing!
Everyone who crosses the Atlantic in a small boat is a hero I would say.
czcams.com/video/I3VGK_VuURo/video.html
hero?no way! thats a hobby not heroism!
i better make a dog a hero whens saving lives during calamity than this people….
Wow! You have a very low bar set for what constitutes being a hero.
Crying lmao. Get a grip
Oh my goodness, I shed a tear listening to your adventure, even still it’s so hard to imagine what it’s really like. I feel I have lived my life flying planes racing boats and many other endeavours, all of which pale into insignificance by your achievements. I am so full of admiration for you all, I can foresee a career doing motivational speeches. Just incredible!!!! 🙂
Wow I'm so proud of you 4. I hiked the Annapurna trail with only my backpack and after going over the pass, the feeling of accomplishment was amazing. I too had days I wanted to give up and I felt cold and exhausted but I lost 7 kilos and felt so fit after that walk. The pictures in my memory if the incredible scenery on the journey will forever be in my mind. Everyone needs to do something , in their lifetime, that stretches their boundaries on a primitive level 😍👍
So very inspiring. Not only to me but I sent this to my sister so she could show my little nieces and you are their hero now.
I needed to see this today. In the midst of a crushing depression, and so lifted by your adventure and wisdom.
I hope you are able to work through it and have a support system. Depression is harder for men, because we are usually alone in our struggles with it. You need to talk bro, let me know. Been there.
@@jhogan1960 thank you. I do have a good support network around me, and work have paid for a counsellor who is really helping.
@@joshlete a lot of different factors. I would probably classify most as relating to bereavement of one kind or another. I lost two relatives, changed jobs, moved house, my cats died, all in a very close period. On top of that, working throughout Covid while trying to find alternative ways of delivering services, and dealing with the high number of funerals without being able to do the human contact that usually helps was very hard. Dealing with rules that changed so frequently. All that together put me in a very vulnerable position emotionally, I think, and then it doesn’t take much to tip over.
@@joshlete thank you for your messages and engagement. I am spiritual, in fact I’m a vicar, so the prayers are very much appreciated.
Hello David, I am pleased you saw the video. I am also grateful for your comment and I hope you are finding a way out of your depression. I send you my best wishes 💫
I needed to hear these beautiful messages. Your final comments made me cry. Sometimes we have bad shifts but bad shifts will always pass.
Thank you. You're amazing!
I am pleased you liked it Chloe 🙏🏼
I am sorry to have made you cry.
This is insane enough to be fascinating. I take a bow for this achievement. Thank you for sharing.
This was incredible! I cried at the end I was so happy for you all! What an adventure and thank you for the inspirational life messages!!
This was a immensely strong feat done by the whole lot. Sharing the same corner with 3 others for +40 days at sea, is no small task. Humans usually can work it out though, since its certainly no place to hold a long grudge. It gets you nowhere. Yeah, you'll fall off. Everyone will fall off moodwise when you exhaust everything like in this feat. But someone or something will usually lure us towards a better mood. Pain and suffering can be kinked with i.e. a good laugh.
To me this would definitely be harder mentally than physically, you can train your body for that but it’s your mind you gotta have right and fight to stay positive and telling yourself you can do it, this is an insane accomplishment that you’ll have forever and something to be extremely proud about
Gobsmacked! Absolutely awe inspiring. What a gift of a story and lessons.
Just WONDERFUL. When one begins watching something like this and is expecting a more or less functional review, it is then even more powerful to suddenly be drawn into an emotional journey and to find life lessons emerge that resonate directly with our own struggles. Wonderful video and wonderful effort with completing the challenge, Laura. Congratulations!
Thank you so much Paulo, I am so pleased you liked it 🙏🏼
Agree! I clicked expecting to hear about the race and see how it was done, ended up getting (so much more importantly) amazing life motivation!
I really liked how you put the story together and how you connected that with our daily life I got so emotional when you said you were the first female team to finish When you thought your 9h raw day was a failure, it actually lead you to the finish line faster So amazing! A very inspirational story!
You are really strong ladies.
Can't even think about your challenge. This is really extraordinary. Hats off to you all
Love this so much. You are amazing! I had tears in my eyes when you arrived and said you had won. An amazing story of resilience and determination. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I can't even begin to imagine the physical and mental toughness this must have taken for the entire crew. I'm sure there were experiences that would be impossible to convey to the average mortal. In addition to the gruelling daily routine, your planning and training must have been spot on. Much respect.
This entire thing, the video, what you did and the messages you've stared moved me to tears. It is so beautiful. I've been in bad place lately and you just gave me a hope i hadn't felt in a very very long time. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

Thanks for making me cry. I didn't think I had any emotions left until I saw this.
You made me cry, laura, you have achieved an incredible success, I respect you immensely.
Congratulations on such a enormous feat. You all are such an inspiration and motivation for the rest of the world. Congrats.
What a great Atlantic-crossing! And what a wonderful parable for life! I have just forwarded this video to my sons who are rowing through school and university, where sometimes the waves are high, the wind blows from all sides and the rain hits you hard in the face. But the video also goes to me, who has bravely battled through all weathers all his life, but has now become far too lazy and sluggish in retirement. Thank you for this life video! You are my role models and heroines. I wish you a wonderful life! And whenever I begin to struggle, I think of you, of this inspiring video and your words. And whenever I become weak, I think of you, of this inspiring video and your words.
Although its been long ago i just watched this video today and was absolutely amazed with what you did. Congrats to all the team. A very well done for the courage and determination that you have shown all the way.
I watched the last half of this video through teary eyes. You are such an amazing, strong and inspirational woman. I feel so lucky to have came across your page and love all that you show and share with us. I love how you can relate your experiences and turn them into everyday motivation, I will definitely be using "just get on with it." I've been struggling a lot with getting started lately and not even with big things but just the little everyday things, after watching this and all you went through and accomplished I feel silly for it. Thank you again for sharing and I can't wait for your next video 💜💜
Thank you for sharing this! It was amazingly uplifting. Congratulations on the win but more importantly on all the lessons you learned along the journey. What an experience you had!
Wow thats such an incredible thing to pull off! I know you say anyone can do this but I think you are really underestimating the mental fortitude and the right combination of people on a task like that. Bravo!
I don't know why this showed up in my recommended and I sure don't know why I clicked on it but I am damn sure glad I watched it. You ladies are freakin awesome. That is one of the greatest stories I've ever watched. Thank you.
Wow, amazing voyage. I kept seeing this in my CZcams feed and super happy I clicked on it. What a beautiful journey.
You 4 are on the level of Olympic athletes, with balls of steel. The level of toughness needed on a physical and mental level -> is next level. Inspirational. Thank you.

The shots of you guys at night are just magical.... absolutely terrifying. I dont even like to stand by the ocean at night, its just so crazy thinking of a little tiny boat out in the ocean in full darkness.

This is absolutely amazing… honestly don’t know what to say because I don’t think half of us, no matter how bad ass we think we are, could accomplish this. So blessings ladies, you are a group of seriously awesome individuals. Well done. 🏆❤️🐳
That was really amazing to watch, what an experience! I’m so glad you shared it with us, I was sad when it ended and it’s one of the few videos I’ve ever watched that I wished was longer. Thanks, I’m going to show my 8 & 4 year old girls this and hope it inspires them, thank you 🙏

I could have made the video much longer - sooo many stories 😂.
I LOVED this story, it’s very inspiring and makes me want to do something like this! Thank you so much for sharing not just a what happened but what you learned in your spirit too. Wonderful and uplifting 🥰.
thank you for your amazing and inspirational story!! You are such an amazing young woman, and I can only hope that my daughters find your strength in their every day lives!!! Such a beautifully and insightful narrative.
To do such a thing is literally insane, to have that much determination and balls to literally row over a whole continent is like doing a marathon around the moon
Hi Hiro, thanks for your comment, the bit about the moon did make me smile 😃
Like literally with vocal fry. literally literally
I don't think that they have balls, if you catch my drift.
@@92kosta omg man wash ur mouth with some soap🤣
The literally rowed across an ocean, not a continent. The word "literal" literally has a meaning.
