I’m absolutely thrilled to have the incredible support of Shepherd Offshore as I embark on my ocean rowing journey! This remarkable company has been a cornerstone of the North East economy for over 100 years, proudly based along the scenic banks of the River Tyne in Newcastle. As one of the UK’s leading service providers in the offshore sector, Shepherd Offshore has been instrumental in fueling growth and innovation in the maritime industry.
On International Women’s Day, I am reminded of the extraordinary journeys women have embarked on throughout history, pushing boundaries and challenging norms. My upcoming solo row across the Atlantic is a tribute to this indomitable spirit. It’s a testament to breaking free from traditional gender roles and showcasing the strength and resilience that women possess.
As a rower, contemplating the prospect of rowing across the vast and unforgiving Atlantic Ocean is stirring a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. It’s a dream that simultaneously ignites excitement and trepidation, weaving through the fabric of one’s consciousness with both anticipation and a touch of apprehension.
