Dutchess of the Sea

About Dutchess of the Sea

Its an adrenaline rush when you think of the fact that you will be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. A combination of fear, excitement and craziness which takes you beyond all boundaries. Blessed that you can make that choice and by doing so also helping others. That’s what the team Dutchess of the Sea will be setting out to do in December 2020 when they take on the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. Four Dutch women, Astrid Janse, Remke van de Kleij, Bela Evers and Désirée Kranenburg will be embarking on this major feat of rowing over 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean and by doing so, also raising money for ALS Netherlands and the Plastic Soup Foundation.

The Talisker Whiskey Challenge, the worlds toughest rowing event, starts in La Gomera in the Canary Islands and finishes in Antigua & Barbuda. We will be guaranteed exhaustion from rowing in shifts of 2 hours on 2 hours off, storms and 50ft waves that toss and roll our tiny boat, blisters, sea sickness, sunburn, lack of sleep, open sores and rehydrated food. A mental and physical journey awaits us.

To help us in this journey we are looking for your support, from the sideline to corporate sponsors. Take a look at our website for options in sponsorship. Every little bit helps. Thanks.
