Atlantic Rocks

The team were fortunate enough to attend an Honours and Awards ceremony at RAF Halton yesterday, to receive their Air and Space Commanders Commendation from Provost Marshal, Group Captain Bunn, after being recognised in the New Years Honours list 2025.

Unfortunately, Dan and Wally were unable to make the ceremony due to work commitments, but Gus and Binnsy along with the Project Officers Aimee and Fran, were able to attend the ceremony.

Thank you again to everyone who supported our journey/challenge. Your support was truly humbling and we are extremely grateful for each and every one of you! 👍🏻🌊🚣‍♂️

Yesterday the Crew visited one of their gold sponsors, Generation Media to give them a brief about their challenge, as part of the company's Wellbeing Week.

The crew said "it was fantastic to visit Generation Media and show them our gratitude for their support and ultimately, enabling this challenge to happen! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the whole team, delivering our brief and letting you sample some of the rations we ate during the crossing (after some persuasion 🤣). From the entire crew, we can't thank you enough."

Last week, Gus and Binnsy travelled to Royal Air Force Honington and said one final goodbye to Sentinel as they handed it over to the Centurion Fund and next Crew, who will be looking to use her in 2025 when they conduct their crossing!

She may not have been the fastest, or had all the latest and greatest technology on board, but she was solid as a rock and the crew had full confidence in the stability and structure of her throughout their Crossing.

The whole Crew are looking forward to working with the next team to give them every chance of success during their crossing and wish them nothing but the best of luck!

SENTINEL IS BACK, SAFE AND SOUND ON UK SOIL!

Gus and Binnsy went to collect the boat today and managed to spend some time, catching up and reminiscing, with Rod from The Brightsides Atlantic Row, who the whole crew built a fantastic friendship with, throughout the event. A true gentleman!

We also want to apologise for the lack of updates since our last video. Unfortunately our account was hacked and it took some time to get the account back under our control. Plenty of videos of 'names on the boat' to come over the next week or 2.
