Atlantic Livin

Our boat's crossing the Atlantic Ocean and whilst we do that we want to raise money for a charity extremely close to our hearts. We know we're not the first boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean (even though it will be for some of the crew members taking part in this crossing) and we're most certainly not the first crew to have a fitness challenge at sea, but we feel this is the perfect time to raise awareness and money for a much needed cause. 

We're raising money for 'LIVIN' a charity that raises awareness about mental health and destroys the stigma associated with mental illness. LIVIN is all about living your life at the top. Connecting, supporting and encouraging one another to talk about their feelings, issues and challenges because "It ain't weak to speak". LIVIN promote a healthy lifestyle which leads to a healthy mind... So we're getting active for chairty!! 

For every mile that our boat does across the Atlantic Ocean (that's 3,288 miles) every crew member will do either a Sit up, push up, pull up or squat. That's 328 exercises EACH... EVERY DAY! 

Working on a yacht can be hard work, long hours and extremely long periods of time away from your loved ones. You could be surrounded by 30+ people every single day but still feel so alone. We want to promote a healthy mind within the yachting industry and for everyone that feels like they need someone to talk to... Someone is listening so speak up xxx
