In today’s episode, Warren Munson interviews Julie Eddicott and Sally Percival, who are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime, as they row across the Atlantic.
Julie and Sally will be rowing from Gomera, Canary Islands, to Antigua, covering 3,000 miles in a 28.5-foot boat with two cabins and three rowing positions. The team consists of Julie, Sally, and their friends Mary and Ed.
They discuss their upcoming challenge of rowing across the Atlantic Ocean and the preparations they have been making. They discuss the physical training that is required to attempt such a feat and the mental aspect, as they will be dealing with isolation and enclosed spaces.
They also discuss the daily routine they will face on the boat, the safety measures, and their motivations for taking on this challenge and the charities they are raising money for.
