The Long Row Home

It’s the official new snackpack unboxing day!

After stringing the last food bag out for a few extra days Allan gets all excited over the new chocolate bars. Meanwhile, at shelter in Lunan Bay, just south of Montrose Mhairi and Allan have taken the time for a good wash of themselves and their kit. They’re waiting for a weather window to make a long sea crossing from Arbroath down to St. Abbs.

It has been a tough couple of days for Allan and Mhairi on Boudicea. Battling strong wind and tide conditions has meant both of them on the oars at times to make progress. But their spirits remain high.

 After a visit from Aberdeen RNLI Lifeboat to say hello they have continued south past Stonehaven and Montrose where they have been visited by pilot whales breaching beside the boat and a pod of bottlenose dolphins. This has buoyed their spirits along with learning that the fundraising total has past £12,000 to be shared between the RNLI and the Scotland’s Charities Air Ambulance.

After years of preparation, the time has finally come. Allan and Mhairi let go their lines in Wick Harbour and navigate Boudicea out into the North Sea to start The Long Row Home.

Joined by friends, family, well-wishers on the shore and a small flotilla of boats (including a very noisy RNLI lifeboat) we’re onboard with them as they leave.

After the celebrations are over and they get into their stride Mhairi reflects on what getting underway has meant, how they are settling into their routine, the wildlife they’ve seen and how you can follow their progress….and don’t worry if you see them stop, there’s a reason for it.

The Long Row Home podcast is produced by Adventurous Audio Ltd.

We’re Allan Lipp and Mhairi Ross, also known as Stormy and Steth – join us on an extraordinary journey as we embark on a world-record attempt to circumnavigate Great Britain by rowing boat!

Departing from Wick, in the far North of Scotland in June 2024, our 60 day journey spans approximately 2000 nautical miles of coastline.

The Long Row Home podcast will take you onboard our our seven-metre-long carbon-fibre boat, Boudicea, and you'll come around the coast with us as we share our row through stories, updates and all the peaks and troughs of being the first unsupported mixed crew to row around Great Britain.

The Long Row Home is about pushing boundaries, testing limits, and raising funds for two incredible charities: the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and SCAA (Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance).
