...In 35 days, nine hours, and nine minutes, they rowed their 28ft-long, £50,000 lightweight R45 Rannoch rowing boat across 3,000 miles of shark-infested waters, waves reaching heights of 40ft, heavy storms, and busy shipping lanes.

Completing 1.5million strokes by keeping to a strict schedule of rowing for two hours and sleeping for one, the siblings overcame seasickness, and blisters and sores.

Good show, from the map, not the widest part of the Atlantic, maybe it would not be feasible to do that in the more Northern parts of that ocean.

Pretty dang awesome. Excuse the pithiness, but it's always nice to see some in that generation still have some c**k and balls.
