Support one of our Members as he tries to raise money for Disadvantaged Children in the Community
Andrew Abrahams is currently competing the The World's Toughest Rowing Race Talisker Whisky - Atlantic Challenge, which is a rowing race of 3,000 nautical miles (or 5,000 kms) from San Sebastian, De La Gomera Canary Islands across an unforgiving Atlantic ocean to English Harbour, Antigua. The world record is 45 days but due to current conditions it could take between 60 to 90 days.
Adventure4aCure - Andrew Abraham’s ‘RV Owen Cavanough’
The race commenced on Thursday 5th Dec 2013 and the crews have been battling big seas and strong winds from a low pressure system. They have been at sea for 7 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes at this stage. Andrew is rowing solo and currently in 1st place in his division. He is doing amazingly, keeping up with the 2 man crews and 4 man crews.
Andrew hopes to raise $500 000 for Disadvantaged Children in the Community.
