In episode 18, we talk to Harry Amos, a former Army officer and one quarter of the ‘Brothers N Oars’ ocean rowing team that successfully rowed 4,500km from California to Hawaii in 39 days.
We discuss how he had to speak to over four hundred leads to get the expedition funded, how ‘it will pass’ became the team mantra, the unique weather challenges of rowing the Pacific Ocean, breaking the rudder, deploying the para-anchor 3 times and being hit by Storm Calvin!
