The Atlantic Challenge to me is a place where I can be free from the burdens of the week and no one calls me a freak. I love the physical work, rowing, lifting, hoisting the sails and trying to stay in the boat. I also love the mental work.
Nature is, however and everybody is working to harness nature.
My friend was in the Cape Challenge before me and she would tell me how much fun it was and how you feel great afterwards and how nice everyone was. I was very interested and asked her about it. Then she asked me if I'd like to try it sometime. I was a little hesitant at first because I thought that I was too weak and shy, but I went. Everyone was extremely nice.
