10:18 am
adventures and trying different 40 things august 30 to 67 days on the atlantic, with no support bo everything on board and doing it all ourselves. it's kind of a life project gases i've. i've lived and we've been limbs. we act ah, mother and daughter g o stuffy and tim not complete the team. they to were looking for something different in life vests and yeah, i was 16 years. i made her school lunches. that's not enough in the life of these and i'm doing something else. quite often, i'm looking forward to seeing the crazy starry sky because we won't have any light . i hope we see dolphins and whales. i'd love to swim with dolphins get over to the ocean trim 1st though they have to train several times every week stuffy and tim to take to their local river. the outstanding in humbug. although they both have experience in rowing, they brought in support from former. well champion cassandra, alca with kids,
10:19 am
wasn't exactly sexy, don't fall asleep. thank you. she cares you are on land and that's how to push through the last part. i thought, you know what i mean then do a lot for hard buffer. got lot of them and nor heard bussey mom if you weren't involved in this and didn't know and liked them, you'd have to be careful not to be mean about it and say, what on earth are they doing? complete nonsense to the group has been training for a year and a half with the 2nd breakfast today. looks good chocolate. great point via who were rolling a marathon today. 42.195 kilometers to combine some info to me. awe before this challenge, catalina, and micah had never been on a rowboat. 00005000
10:20 am
kilometers of ocean, a white them with high waves, bad weather, and life packed together in a tiny space. many teams have broken off attempts at a crossing in the past. these people women want to become the 1st old female german team to make it ah ah, over in southeast england, in the town of burn on, crouch charlie pitcher makes roy boats fit for the high seas. oh, really. why? the team has invested tens of thousands of euros in his skills. now they see what their money, his port. it's 8 meters long, weighs a ton and is designed to be unsinkable. these 5 square meters will be the team's
10:21 am
home for weeks. great, our own bo port shewn nice that i had never even had a brand new car before. always used cars. this is new. hey, 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. that 1st test is crossing the english channel . it's not too much to see burger, but not city ounce rowing. i. it's not just the physical demands that face the teen. the atlantic crossing will be a huge psychological challenge running on the outside a really not the same. a grueling rhythm of 2 hours rowing followed by 2 hours sleeping awaits them. and that's not all. with half past 1 in the night,
10:22 am
we had to admit that although the storm is in here, yet, the weather is too strong for us to stop. michelle, what you had to vomit to day. and now we're turning back to me with the team has failed. it's 1st trial, the mood is deflected them since you megan, overcome the wind in the current, and then try decided we had to turn back. and if 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 path with yours. you've got to have really good, strong legs and back. doesn't matter about the arms and you've got to get your stall right and you must get that long power together. sucrose as to if you
10:23 am
get that power working through the also to get the boat moving forward spots. the most important thing for me is that you've got to work on that. it's here in like a meta in the canary islands. the 35 teams begin the crossing to antigua in the caribbean in december 2019. the atlantic challenge is the hardest rowing rates in the world. the fastest teams will need one month, the slowest 2 months. it's the moment of truth for my cache. nephi tim now and catalina. 2 yachts are on hand for emergencies, otherwise the roads out on their run, there are risks. yes, it is. risks of bad weather and capsize and the head injury and illness. but things that actually have the greatest effect on cruise, how they get on with each other, personal dynamic. it's a really most important and potentially dangerous thing. in many ways that team
10:24 am
spirit is tested early on that the wind is unusually strong and the boat can hardly make any headway coupled with, well yeah, pretty high waves and we all got seasick lawn team to hide it, the worse. fortunately, micah is a doctor with the help of an eye the infusion. she gets the situation under control with for the 1st 48 hours, i was so seasick i couldn't move. the girls had to row one person down while i was comatose in the middle of the bo march 1st and under to the sport is but you know, every little movement, whatever i didn't before it came back out. we have house. oh, i thought there are also magical moments like when they were visited by dolphins in the middle of the ocean with
10:25 am
merry christmas new hob. today it's been with uncommon lungs i'm. it was low progress. visa, we thought we'd see how the bottom of our boat looks. mm. with a the kitchen consists of a gas cooker. ready meals are on the menu. past the bond is a tasty. oh, look at my little mouse. the compact always pointed nowhere, and that's where we'll wait for you guys. may god protect you on your journey
10:26 am
with antigua. this is where the team is hoping to arrive soon. they've faced a number of different weather conditions when they're out there. if you have big, strong seas and big white behind you, that's really good. but this year they've been from the side from behind all mixed up. other teams had to deal with even more extreme situations with but nobody was injured. in a number of times when the boat been knocked over, but it's just rough and brutal and bruising and tough and they've had got a lot. and the challenge that i will even still see some of that before the measure . ra another a 196 miles. hm
