Thatās a wrap š¬
TB to where it all started ā the day we picked up Rosie from FA24. š
From that moment, it became real. Every early morning. Every mile. Every challenge ā all lead us closer to the Atlantic.
But this story isnāt finished yetā¦
š The next chapter is already in motion.
Force Atlantic 26 teamā¦ coming soon.

As we wrap up this yearās Force Atlantic journey, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who followed along, supported us, and donated along the way ā itās meant more than we can put into words.
Due to work commitments and upcoming deployments, weāre unfortunately unable to carry out our Engagement Tour. That said, weāre hoping some of the team will be able to deliver talks later in the year to share our experience and hopefully inspire others to take on their own challenge ā no matter how big or small.
A massive thank you to the Army for backing us throughout, to the officers behind the scenes who made this possible, and to the businesses who supported us with sponsorship.
And a special thank you to Costin Media for capturing and sharing our story so powerfully across social media.
This may be the end of this chapter, but itās far from the end of the story.

As we get ready to hand over the reinsā¦
A new team waits in the wings.
The next chapter is already in motion ā different faces, same challenge, same ocean. What lies ahead will test them in ways only a few will understand.
For us, the journey isnāt quite over. For them, itās only just beginning.
More to comeā¦ š

We crossed an oceanā¦ then immediately forgot how to function in Antigua āļø
Conquered the Atlantic š¤
Got defeated by stairs, sunshine and actual food š¤
From surviving waves, no sleep and constant rowingā¦
to needing a lie down after walking 10 metres.
Elite endurance athletes one minute ā
sunburnt holidaymakers the next.
Mission complete.
Recoveryā¦ still in progress.

Throwing it back to last summerālong days on the water, pushing limits, and preparing to take on the Atlantic š
This summer looks a little different for the teamā¦ back to ānormalā life, work, and new routines. But looking back, itās hard not to appreciate just how incredible that experience was.
Endless hours rowing, shared graft, and memories that will stick with us for life.
Who knowsā¦ maybe some of the team will swap oars for a new water sport this year š

This International Womenās Day we recognise the incredible women who serve, lead and support across the Armed Forces community and beyond. From those on the front line, to those behind the scenes making missions possible ā your strength and determination drives progress every day.
And a special mention to Olieā¦ who isnāt a woman, but still spent weeks in the middle of the Atlantic putting up with us. Weāre pleased to report he survived. Just about. šš
Hereās to strong women, strong teams, and proving that limits exist to be challenged.

The row may be finished, but the mission continues. Some of the crew are back to work, while others are getting ready to hit the road for the Force Atlantic engagement tour.
Hopefully very soon theyāll be travelling up and down the country sharing the story of the crossing ā the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned from taking on the Atlantic together.
Our aim is simple: to inspire others to step outside their comfort zone, feel empowered, and try something new.
At the same time, weāre continuing to raise funds for three incredible charities that mean a great deal to us:
ā¢ Jessie May Trust
ā¢ Royal Artillery Charitable Fund
ā¢ Twelth Trust
Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far ā your encouragement and generosity keeps the journey going.

An incredible honour for the team to meet His Majesty The King during his visit to Thorney Island.š¬š§
We had the opportunity to share our Atlantic adventure, our mission to empower junior ranks, the realities of life at sea ā and, most importantly, the outstanding charities we are proud to be raising funds for.

š¬š§ A huge thank you to the Royal Artillery Yacht Club for gifting us their ensign.
Although race rules meant we couldnāt fly it during the crossing, it travelled every mile of the Atlantic with us and made the full journey to Antigua. It was an honour to carry it across the ocean.
After some well-earned time to rest and recover, weāll be back soon with some post-row talks ā sharing the realities of the race, the lessons learned, and what it truly took to get across.
More stories coming soon. š
