She shares her experience as the only women with three men, along with what her biggest struggle was on the water (it wasn't the bum or the hands!), how to prepare for a successful trip, and a great tip for fundraising that I am definitely going to try out! This was an amazing episode you should check out. Take a listen to learn about her next row that is coming up in the summer of 2021!

Pual and Billy from Foar From Home chat about where they are on their journey to get ready to cross the Atlantic in TWAC at a quad. It was great chatting and learning from another American based team and seeing how their fundraising has adapted with the current COVID times. If you are looking to cross and figuring out funding, this is a great one for you!

Update Episode #20. A short update on my progress! Boat is on hold, garage is in process, charities in the works, and SHIRTS coming soon for the cause!

Bryan Fuller rowed as part of an eight man team across the Atlantic in 2012 in an effort to raise awareness for veterans. He provides so much value in the episode about his trip, tips on routines, planning for your ocean row, and so much more. Brian is thinking of ocean rowing again soon and this is likely part 1 of a series from Bryan as he was just full of so much to share. He also owns Power Rowing in Boston, MA and just started an annual even, Rowing Without Borders. You can see his most recent charity row, which is how we met, here. https://youtu.be/hNQtD4c9qUY
