The Road to Mission Atlantic 2024 – A Dream Getting Closer

The anticipation is mounting as the Mission Atlantic 2024 event approaches. Among the brave crews preparing for the grueling voyage from Puerto Mogan, Gran Canaria, to Port St Charles, Barbados, are the Rowing Stones (https://www.therowingstones.com) and Oceans Elite (https://oceanseliterow.com). Both teams have faced a myriad of challenges in their quest to conquer the Atlantic, each step marked by relentless determination and unwavering spirit.

Embarking on an ocean rowing expedition requires more than just physical endurance and mental fortitude—it demands substantial financial backing. For the Rowing Stones and Oceans Elite, securing the necessary funding has been an uphill battle. From relentless fundraising campaigns to seeking sponsorships, both teams have navigated the complex landscape of securing resources to make their dream a reality.

The physical preparation for an event like Mission Atlantic 2024 is nothing short of monumental. The Rowing Stones and Oceans Elite have been engaged in rigorous training regimes designed to build the strength, endurance, and resilience required to tackle the open ocean. Having successfully completed their training, they are now focused on eating everything in sight to ensure that they have sufficient body fat reserves to last them for up 2 months alone in the open ocean.
