Rowhedge couple Nina and Simon Crouchman are back on dry land after raising £11,000 for The Samaritans with a 66-day row across the Atlantic Ocean.
Boosted by sponsorship from Geoquip, the pair took on the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge, leaving the Canary Islands in December and arriving in Antigua on February 16.

Geoquip’s Mike Deed and his daughter Lizzie have good reason to celebrate after raising £15,000 in a momentous climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
The pair were part of a six-strong team raising funds for St Helena Hospice in Colchester, and together they faced sleep deprivation, combined with mental and physical exhaustion, as well as coping with temperatures from +30oC to a snowy -15 oC.
Monies raised will go towards the Hospice’s funds for helping families in need. To add to Mike and Lizzie’s final fundraising total, please visit https://doris-stringer-1930-2015.muchloved.com/fundraising/events/194105719
Rowhedge couple Nina and Simon Crouchman will soon be taking on the biggest challenge of their life – the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge – billed as “the world’s toughest row”.
On December 11, they will set off from the Canary Islands on a 3,000-mile journey to Antigua, hoping to raise thousands of pounds for the Samaritans.
Geoquip Water Solutions is helping to support them on their journey after donating £1,500 to sponsor one of the lightweight carbon fibre oars, which will be embossed with the company’s logo and presented to it on return...
