EP 37: Fight Oar Die & 2019 Atlantic Challenge


Listen Later

The Talisker Atlantic Challenge (https://www.taliskerwhiskyatlanticchallenge.com/) is a 3000 NM ocean rowing race from The Canary Islands to Antigua and it has been called the “World’s Toughest Row”. Building on their successful finish last year, a new all-veteran Fight Oar Die team will be casting off on December 12th with thirty-four other crews. 

Skippered by former Submariner Carl Christensen, this year’s team will help raise money and awareness to problems that face our men and women in uniform as they transition back into civilian life. 

We got the chance to catch up with Carl to talk about this year’s team, how to follow the race and most importantly donate towards the cause.  Take a listen and be sure to visit usvetrow.org to learn more the 2019 Fight Oar Die team.
