North Atlantic Ocean, here we come

the next couple of days the “Spirit of Waubun” will push off the land from St.John’s Newfoundland Canada for its longest, unsupported, transatlantic rowing journey to Penzance UK. Currently, a severe weather system is coming through and hopefully will pass later tomorrow.

It’s an amazing journey so far. Thanks for all my families and friends for the prayers and love. Through this journey, millions of people around the world who have been suffering various rare diseases in their life, have been brought together. It’s such a privilege to receive your letters and hear your stories, and I will read the letters on this journey every few hundred miles over the next couple of months. Your life long journeys have inspired me and will continue inspiring me and many others.

To follow our crossing, you may download a free app YB Tracker or YB Races, or https://pro.yb.tl/northatlanticrow2026
