That’s a wrap 🎬
TB to where it all started — the day we picked up Rosie from FA24. 🌊
From that moment, it became real. Every early morning. Every mile. Every challenge — all leading us closer to the Atlantic.
But this story isn’t finished yet…
👀 The next chapter is already in motion.
Next year’s team… coming soon.
ComingSoon
As we wrap up this year’s Force Atlantic journey, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who followed along, supported us, and donated along the way — it’s meant more than we can put into words.
Due to work commitments and upcoming deployments, we’re unfortunately unable to carry out the Endgame Tour. That said, we’re hoping some of the team will be able to deliver talks later in the year to share our experience and hopefully inspire others to take on their own challenge — no matter how big or small.
A massive thank you to the Army for backing us throughout, to the officers behind the scenes who made this possible, and to the businesses who supported us with sponsorship.
And a special thank you to Costin Media for capturing and sharing our story so powerfully across social media.
This may be the end of this chapter, but it’s far from the end of the story.
Military Adventure
As we get ready to hand over the reins…
A new team waits in the wings.
The next chapter is already in motion — different faces, same challenge, same ocean. What lies ahead will test them in ways only a few will understand.
For us, the journey isn’t quite over. For them, it’s only just beginning.
More to come… 🌊

We crossed an ocean… then immediately forgot how to function in Antigua ☀️
Conquered the Atlantic 🤝
Got defeated by stairs, sunshine and actual food 🤝
From surviving waves, no sleep and constant rowing…
to needing a lie down after walking 10 metres.
Elite endurance athletes one minute —
sunburnt holidaymakers the next.
Mission complete.
Recovery… still in progress.
EarnedNotGiven
Throwing it back to last summer—long days on the water, pushing limits, and preparing to take on the Atlantic 🌊
This summer looks a little different for the team… back to “normal” life, work, and new routines. But looking back, it’s hard not to appreciate just how incredible that experience was.
Endless hours rowing, shared graft, and memories that will stick with us for life.
Who knows… maybe some of the team will swap oars for a new water sport this year 👀

This International Women’s Day we recognise the incredible women who serve, lead and support across the Armed Forces community and beyond. From those on the front line, to those behind the scenes making missions possible — your strength and determination drives progress every day.
And a special mention to Olie… who isn’t a woman, but still spent weeks in the middle of the Atlantic putting up with us. We’re pleased to report he survived. Just about. 🌊😂
Here’s to strong women, strong teams, and proving that limits exist to be challenged.

An incredible honour for the team to meet His Majesty The King during his visit to Thorney Island.
We had the opportunity to share our Atlantic adventure, our mission to empower junior ranks, the realities of life at sea — and, most importantly, the outstanding charities we are proud to be raising funds for.
A truly memorable day for Force Atlantic. 🇬🇧

🇬🇧 A huge thank you to the Royal Artillery Yacht Club for gifting us their ensign.
Although race rules meant we couldn’t fly it during the crossing, it travelled every mile of the Atlantic with us and made the full journey to Antigua. It was an honour to carry it across the ocean.
After some well-earned time to rest and recover, we’ll be back soon with some post-row talks — sharing the realities of the race, the lessons learned, and what it truly took to get across.
More stories coming soon. 🌊

Weight Lost: 8 kg
Highlight of the Race:
- Travelling through so many different weather systems and truly experiencing everything the ocean had to offer and throw at us 🌊.
- Seeing how well our team worked together throughout the entire row was incredible.
- Pushing my mind and body through something so challenging was a real test for me, and having a good sing-song along the way made it even more special 🎶.
Hardest Challenge:
The early morning of the 21st at 03:00, when we were hit by severe weather and placed in an extremely stressful situation. As skipper, there were moments when I genuinely felt our safety may have been at risk, a sobering and intense experience ⚠️🌧️.
Most Listened-To Songs:
• I’ll Leave a Light On✨
• Sensational
• A selection of songs by Lainey Wilson
What I’ll Miss Most About Being on Rosie:
The beauty of being isolated in such a calm environment, where at times all stress and worries disappeared. It was just us, breathtaking sunsets and sunrises 🌅, and our own thoughts a truly special space to be in.
