Will North and Dan Howie's journey of a life time: The Talisker Whiskey Challenge 2013. This incredibly demanding 3,000 mile rowing challenge is known to be the most dangerous rowing contest in the world.

‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
SailRow away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.’
(Mark Twain)
