Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge 2017 The Oceanomads

In one of the roughest years the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge has ever seen, we managed to cross the line in just over 52 days, to win the pairs pure class. Being exposed to the elements, sleep deprived, covered in salt sores and blisters as well as facing storms and massive seas that saw numerous teams rescued, and most capsizing at least once, combined with flying fish wizzing past - and sometimes straight into, our heads at night was just a few of the challenges we faced. For anyone who has ever considering rowing a boat across an ocean, or for those who could never imagine it, this is our story from start line to finish. It's not pretty, but it was one of the most exhilarating, humbling and greatest things we have ever achieved.

Too bad they don't have one rowing across the Gulf of Mexico. Corpus Christi to Tampa? Why not?

Hi Dylan I really like some of the shots on this, just wondering would you be willing to let some of the generic shots of the ocean, and under the boat etc be used on a video I am making for 2019 Force Atlantic about a 17 year old soldier for the British Army who is rowing in a team of four? I would credit your name and channel, send you a link etc thanks matt

[@dylanjones8112]

Matthew Allen hey mate yeah no problem at all. Thanks for asking first. Let me know when you’re finished I’d love to check out your vid

[@matthewallen1597]

Hi@@dylanjones8112 just to let you know I added your name and channel to the Official Brit Army end plate, and they asked me to remove it as we apparently can't tamper with that. Thus, I will email back and ask them to credit you in the info area of You Tube instead - Maybe that could be better anyway! Thanks a lot for your help.

@@matthewallen1597 Hello Matthew, we are a Gold Sponsor for the Force Atlantic team and we have just discovered your comment when looking at other participants videos! We are currently finishing up on an interview we have just filmed of the team last weekend, it would be great to know more about your involvement with the team as well.

Hi I am a videomaker for the Brit Army and I was tasked with making a video of AFC Harrogate's team who are doing Force Atlantic. Because we had no shots of the boat or the sea at this point, I asked the owner of this brilliant video if he could let us borrow a few shots to illustrate the hard work that they will be going through! @@RSSInfrastructureLtd
