A fishing boat „The Fresh Catch“ out of Antigua came to say hello. I have been asked to join them for a beer tomorrow!

I’m getting close to the finish line of this incredible Atlantic crossing 🌊🚣♂️
I’ve rowed 3,000 miles solo in a rowing boat - a huge physical and mental challenge.
But this journey isn’t just about me.
I’m rowing to raise funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind, helping train and place more guide dogs for people with visual impairments.
If you’re able to support the cause, I’d be truly grateful.
Every donation helps give mobility, confidence and independence. 🐕🦺💙 Thank you !!
