The Ocean Rowing Club

Each week we talk to a past ocean rower to get their unique view on the ocean rowing experience. We speak to young and old, men and women, independents and events, solos to 12 person crews, from America to Australia and everything in-between! Whether you just like to hear inspirational stories or you're a future ocean rower looking for advice, there is something for everyone in this series of interviews.
