Scots lockdown pals who have never rowed before set to take on 3000 mile Atlantic Ocean challenge
Two Scots women who struck up a friendship online during lockdown are set to take on a 3000 mile Atlantic Ocean challenge - despite never having rowed before. Sabrina Faith and Leanne Maiden will spend at least 60 days on the water after setting off from La Gomera in the Canaries to Antigua in the Caribbean in December.
“There’s a bit of sibling rivalry between us so I wanted to outdo him. I found out about the Atlantic challenge, and I started looking online to find a team, which is how I met Leanne. People keep asking about the training, but the hardest thing is everything else. Bearsden mum Leanne, 41, who has two sons, Blair, six, and Ruaridh, seven, added: “People keep asking if this is a mid-life crisis. I’m not sure if that’s the case but whatever it is, it will be a life-changing experience. Few mums can say they’ve rowed the Atlantic Ocean.
“Life is short and you are dead for a long time, so I’m glad I’ve found a friend who matches my crazy and helps me to live my best life.
