Best of luck to vets Jim Houlton and Paul Milnthorp who are setting off this weekend on their incredible rowing challenge.
Heat, seasickness, alternate bouts of two hours sleep and two hours rowing, powdered food and the possibility of being blown off course will be just a few of the challenges they'll face.
They're attempting to cover the 2,935 miles (2,500 nautical miles) from La Gomera in the Canaries to Antigua in 55 days (it could take as long as 90 days) in their boat called The Reason Why.
