Over 2,000 people have climbed Everest. More than 450 have been into space. Only 34 have rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Canary Islands to Antigua. No one has achieved it in less than 42 days.

That's the way Sam Williams began his explanation for wanting to become the 35th person to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Sound like a good enough reason, right? Wrong. Turns out Williams motivation was to also raise more than £20,000 for FARM-Africa.

And last Thursday, after 75 days, 4 hours, and 43 minutes, Williams and Pacific Pete (his boat) arrived at Nelsons Dockyard Marina in English Harbour Antigua, after leaving La Gomera, Canary Islands.

I won't bore you with written details. Watch his story for yourself.
