Ocean 5 is raising money for us!
In December 2019 the men of Team Ocean 5 will participate in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. This race is considered to be the toughest ocean race in the world! The challenge is to row more than 3000 miles with an open, unsupported boat. From La Gomera, Canary Islands, to the English port, Antigua. This is something that will test the resilience of our team to the very extremes of what humans can achieve, something which has been achieved by fewer people than have been into space.
Ocean 5 will take up this challenge with the aim of making a difference in the fight for healthy oceans and the safety of our planet by raising funds for the Plastic Soup Foundation (PSF).
The PSF wishes Team Ocean 5 every success!
