We did it!!

Big thank you to everyone who supported us, we have raised our target of 250 euros for Lifeboat crews across Ireland and the UK.
Very glad we postponed the original date and waited for suitable conditions, which shows the importance of respecting the sea.
Here are some images from the day (big thanks to Dunmore Adventure for drone footage).

Once again thank you and safe seafaring!!

Weather!!

Unfortunately, the weather this weekend just wasn't suitable to carry out the row safely, we will be aiming to carry out the row next weekend (01 - 3.06.24) under safer conditions, again thanks to everyone for the support but safety has to come first. 

Thank you!!
