FIGHT OAR DIE UPDATE

Our Head Safety Officer has just had a 45 minute conversation with the Fight Oar Die crew as they make their way to Canada. The crew are in excellent spirits and asked that the other crews and all the followers know that they are happy and healthy though clearly disappointed not to be finishing the row.

They are battered and sore but report that the ship they are on has an excellent chef and they are eating like kings and recovering well. Part of the discussion was to get the details of what happened and what can be learned to help future rowers and this will continue once the crew are back ashore.

Their conduct and actions at sea were exactly what was required and they kept cool heads and acted selflessly and with courage to look after each other. Atlantic Campaigns will continue to speak with them and assist their journey home.

FIGHT OAR DIE RESCUE AT SEA

The crew of Fight Oar Die are safe and well.

Following being capsized by a massive wave the boat failed to self-right. Despite the best efforts of the crew they were unable to right the vessel and abandoned into the life raft. A nearby vessel was alerted and the rescue was carried out. Further investigation into the details of the incident are ongoing.

The crew are safely on board vessel Hanze Goteborg, being well looked after and will make landfall in Canada in early January. Atlantic Campaigns will support Will, Chad, Nick and Tommy on their journey home and will continue to liaise with their ground crew.

The weather on the Atlantic has been really testing our incredible fleet and will continue to for the next 12-24 hours, however calmer days will soon return and our Safety Team continue to monitor all teams on all systems 24 hours a day.
