boat everything on board and doing it all ourselves it was kind of a life project because i wasn't it was only just. mother and daughter duo sheffield and tim noah complete the team they too were looking for something different in life. thanks to the other 16 years a major school lunches if that's not enough of a life and i'm doing something else. which often i'm looking forward to seeing the crazy starry sky because we won't have any lights i hope we see dolphins and whales and love to swim with dolphins and of addition true. first though they have to train several times every week steffi and to take to their local river the al stone in hamburg. although they both have experience in rowing they've brought in support from former world champion christian talca. nephew. stephanie don't fall asleep will you be as cheap as you are on land that's

together in a tiny space many teams have broken off attempts at a crossing in the past these 4 women want to become the 1st all female german team to make it. over in southeast england in the town of burnham on crouch charlie pitcher makes more boats fit for the high seas. to. the team has invested tens of thousands of euros in his skills now they see what their money has bought it's $8.00 metres long weighs a ton and is designed to be unsinkable these 5 square metres will be the team's home for weeks. it's great our own boat.

i've never even had a brand new car before i always used cars this is new. they're the 1st german women's team you know the whole world will be watching when they're racing next year it's very exciting time so i'm really excited for them their 1st test is crossing the english channel. it's 19. to seabrook. it's really hard to. it's not just the physical demands that face the team the atlantic crossing will be a huge psychological challenge running on the al state is. they not the same. a grueling rhythm of 2 hours rowing followed by 2 hours sleeping a whites them. and that's not all. i. would have passed one in the night we had to admit that although the storm isn't here yet the weather is too strong for us. stuck.

michelle much had to vomit today and now we're turning back yes. the team has failed its 1st trial the move is deflated. them something they can overcome the wind in the current and then try to decided we had to turn back. there's still time before the race gets underway charlie gives his advice on what the 4 women should focus on before then they've got to get more power through the walls you've got to have really good strong next and back. about your arms and you've got to get your stall right and you must know how to get sneakers those 2 if you get that power working through the walls to keep moving forwards that's the most important thing for me is that you've got swell

even if it's here in la in the canary islands the 35 teams begin the crossing to antigua in the caribbean in december 29th teen. challenge is the hardest rowing race in the world the fastest teams will meet one month the slowest 2 months. it's the moments of truth for my cash to feed him and cut something up. to your thoughts are on hand for emergencies otherwise the roads are out on their ugh. there are risks yes it is a risk of bad weather and capsize. the head injury and illness but things that actually have the greatest effect on crew to how they get on with each other personal dynamic that's a really most important then she dangerous thing and the. team spirit is tested early on the wind is unusually strong and the boat can hardly make any headway. the

sun. comes up it's unusual you pretty high waves and we all get seasick at the worst. fortunately mike is a doctor with the help of an i.v. infusion she gets the situation under control. but he asked after the 1st 48 hours i was so seasick i couldn't move the girls had to roll one person down while i was called the toast in the middle of the march 1st and i'm going to just for just for you know i could every little movement whatever idea before i came back out and it was. but there are also magical moments like when they were visited by dolphins in the middle of the ocean.

this is where the team is hoping to arrive. they've faced a number of different weather conditions when they're out there if you have big strong seas and big waves behind you that's really good but this year they've been from the saw i had from behind all mixed. other teams had to deal with even more extreme situations. but nobody was injured so that a number of times when the boat's been knocked over that is just rough and brutal and bruising and tough and they've had a lot and there's a chance that they'll even still see some of that before the master roy. and i think there are a 196 miles. and then in late january 2020 after more than 40 days they finally see all the human

beings again. 2 2 they've completed the 5000 kilometer crossing with fuel and muscle strength. we're going. to have to be beautiful and see if the 42 days and 36000000 let's say i.
