“I initially only entered the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge because I worked at Diageo alongside Ollie Palmer who entered in 2019, and I thought if he could do it then so could I! Luckily, I had a best friend who felt the same, but we never imagined we’d be able to do as well as we did. We put our all into every second of preparation and the challenge itself, and when we realised the world record was in sight it just made us work even harder. It has been the most incredible experience from start to finish, we’ve met the most amazing people and done things we would never have thought we’d be able to do. To spend so long out on the boat was a truly unique experience, and the One For The Sea cause shows how important it is that we protect the world’s Oceans. Coming into Antigua will stay with me for the rest of my life and I’m still not quite sure it all happened, but at least I have the pictures for proof!”
