waves 10 meters high no land in sight full women alone. the open sea. and mica. defeat. plantin done by taking on the biggest challenge of their lives crossing the atlantic ocean in a rowboat in the talisker i'd like to challenge. my courage a cardiologist by trade has hardly any rowing experience. i think it's also a little bit about getting to know myself from a different perspective by doing something crazy. but for her to know who she was. like the other women she lives in hamburg mike his best friend catalina came up with the idea. behind gallo maybe i'm tired i like having adventures and trying different sporty things that 30 to 67 days on the atlantic with no support

boat of everything on board and doing it all ourselves on the side of a life project because i was going to miss a. mother and daughter duo chef ian to complete the team they too were looking for something different in life. thanks to nearly 16 years a major school lunches if that's not enough of a life is and i'm doing something else. for 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 ulster in hamburg. although they both have experience in rowing they've brought in support from former world champion kristin darker. nephew. stephanie don't fall asleep will you be

a cheeky as you are on land that's helped push through the last part you know what i mean. then do it what are the odds. if you weren't involved in this and didn't know and like them you'd have to be careful not to be mean about it and say what on earth are they doing complete nonsense. the group has been training for a year and a half of the smiths but that's a 2nd breakfast today looks good chocolate grape. for the you who were growing a marathon today 42.195 kilometers once a month to meet. for this challenge pennsylvania and micah had never been on a road about. 5000 kilometers of ocean away with high waves but when the and like packed 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 about fit for the high seas. merely 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 on sink of all these 5 square metres will be the team's home for weeks so. it's great our own both.

of us that have never even had a brand new car before 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 so very exciting time so i'm really excited for them their 1st test is crossing the english channel. it's 19. to seabrook. you know 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 riding on the i'll stay sick. not the same. a grueling rhythm of 2 hours rowing followed by 2 hours sleeping and whites. and that's not all. it's half past 1 in the night we had to admit that although the storm isn't here yet the weather is too

strong for us. stuck. so michelle had to vomit today and now we're turning back against. the team has failed its 1st trial the mood is deflated. their homes even overcome the wind in the current and then tried 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. to get more power through the walls you've got to have really good strong legs and back. and you've got to get your stall right and you must know how to get those things to. get. through the walls to keep moving forwards

that's the most important thing for me is that you've got. the it's here in la in the canary islands that the $35.00 teams begin the crossing to and in the caribbean in december 29th teen. the atlantic challenge is the hardest rowing race in the world the fastest teams will need one month the slowest 2 months. it's the moment of truth for my cash to feed him and cut something out. to get your thoughts are on hand for emergencies otherwise the rug was out on their own. there are risks and yes it is a risk of bad weather and capsize. injury and illness but things that actually have the greatest effect on crew how they get on with each other personal dynamic that's really most important then she dangerous thing in the way. their 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

pretty high waves and we all got seasick the height of the worst. fortunately mike is a doctor with the help of an i.v. infusion she gets the situation under control. of the body as after the 1st 48 hours i was so seasick i couldn't move the girls had to throw one person down while i was comatose in the middle of the boat much worse 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. like. merry christmas. today it's

been. to live. our lives. in calm long going slow progress has been so we thought we'd see how the bottom of our boat looks. the kitchen consists of a gas cooker ready meals are on the menu. the billing is a tasty. become ice always points north and that's where we'll wait for you may god protect you on your journey. here. and 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 all mixed up. other teams had to deal with even more extreme situations. but nobody was injured so even a number of times when the boat's been knocked over it is rough and brutal and bruising and tough and they've had a lot and they'll even still see some of that before they measure right. that it was there 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. if you want it to be beautiful and see if the $42.00 days that's all you see it's really it's i. i

i am. asking but already taking an indescribably beautiful behind i haven't processed it yet one of the best mornings of my life if not the best assurance there was the sun cos i'm tired of the filesystem is one that was a phenomenal adventure and it's great to be an inspiration and role models for people and give them motivation. but you never dreamed that it would all end this way and it is finally so i'm looking forward to a proper shower and good food. they said safe in the harbor for friendship intact that's important to. the face of all. the folks living here and. my kids steffi katz of the not to have made it they broke every wave that came their way and best in the ocean.
