our rowing across the North Athletic Ocean represents a teamwork that can be done from zero experience of ocean rowing yet the love of ocean and adventures. Ran and I are very grateful for this incredible journey with many extraordinary people from the founder of Rannoch Adventure, to friends and families across several continents.
When days are hard, we look within for things better. Like the other years, though funding for such a self-funded journey can be a big challenge, we realize that the other teams have more challenges in fundraising for charitable causes. So, we decided to help including several teams whether they are rowing the Pacific crossing or Atlantic crossing (including Dawn and Paul’s Home Town to Home Town team). Ocean rowing is a very small community with extraordinary energy and goodness out of these rows. We want to congratulate all the teams finishing the 2026 Pacific crossings and the ongoing North Atlantic crossing with us.
Also, thanks to my Minneapolis Rowing Club friends and the people of Norway 🇳🇴, from this incredible message I received overnight, “You’ve got over 400 MRC members and the country of Norway pulling for you. You are not alone! Stay positive stay motivated you got this!”
