107 rowers from around the world set off from the Spanish port of San Sebastian in La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12, heading for Nelson's Dockyard, over 3,000 miles away, in Antigua & Barbuda. The annual race sees both solo and crew boats battle high seas and extreme weather as they attempt to row across the Atlantic Ocean. This year 36 teams are taking on the challenge, with the first crews expected to arrive in Antigua sometime in mid-January.
