Annie and Mel will be launching their boat from La Gomera in the Canary Islands and setting their sights on English Harbour, Antigua, 3,000 miles away across the Atlantic ocean. Braving harsh weather, constant physical and mental stress and no Christmas. 33 other crews will be competing in the race but Annie and Mel are the only female pair, they hope to complete the crossing in record time. Only 49 women have ever rowed an ocean, and only 6 female pairs.
