584 - ADAM RADCLIFFE - EXCLUSIVE First Podcast After Rowing From NYC to UK!


Listen Later

Only 5 days ago Adam Radcliffe from Watford, along with 3 crew mates, was stepping upon land for the first time in 56 days after joining the elite club of humans to successfully row from New York City to the UK. 

Nearly 2 months in a tiny row boat with barely enough room for 3 people would have been tough regardless, right? Well try adding storms, whales, 40 degree burning heat and blistering cold nights into the equation too… oh, and the fact there were 4 men… not 3. 

From the boat completely capsizing on day 9 and the boys being thrown into the Atlantic Ocean below, to encountering numerous Fin whales (the second biggest mammal on Earth), Adam and his fellow adventurers truly experienced it all. Was witnessing green comets lighting up the entire night sky awesome enough to offset the horrific sleeping conditions? Was the wonder of seeing dolphins in the wild beautiful enough to offset 2 months of pooing in buckets? Was breaking an official world rowing record enough to offset the constant laborious 3 hour shift patterns of consistent rowing for 56 days? Adam openly and honestly reveals all.

Where do 4 men in the tight confines of a “coffin bed” relieve their… “desires” after weeks of no intimacy? How do you pack enough food into a tiny boat for 4 burly blokes to live off for 56 days? What happens when you encounter an Interstellar like wave that capsizes your boat and all of your belongings a week into a 2-month long mission? What happens when you have to perform DIY medical procedures on each other in the middle of the ocean?

A massive congratulations to Adam, Jack, David and Sam from Team United We Conquer on completing a route so dangerous that it actually has a 7% death rate. Jack, Stevie and everybody else at Happy Hour are in awe of your strength and persistence! (Awe may have been a pun…) and thank you to Adam personally for choosing our podcast to be the first time you tell your story!
