AdventOar – Ben and Yuri's Adventure to cross the Atlantic Ocean

It’s starting to get real.  We are listed as an official race entrant on https://www.worldstoughestrow.com/the-atlantic/2027-race-entrants/

So far, everyone we have talked to in the ocean rowing community has been very helpful and gracious with their time and advice.  We had a very helpful Zoom with Lizzie at https://www.rannochadventure.com/ about boats and other logistics.  In addition to the ins and outs of boats, She helped us understand a lot about how to properly prepare for this adventure.  Chris and Jere, two badass special forces veterans from https://www.courserracing.org/, gave us very helpful advice on what lies ahead of us.

One of the most frequent questions we get is what the boats look like.  For most people, the boats are a little bigger than they initially imagined, but extremely small for an open ocean vessel.  The pictures below aren’t of us or our boat, but are the model of boat we are looking at.
