On June 10 2006, Team Hesco, powered by Commando Joe, left New York in the Shepherd Ocean Fours Rowing Race - four teams racing the 3,118 miles across the North Atlantic Ocean from the USA to the UK. After 84 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes at sea, they achieved the longest point-to-point crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean by rowboat, having landed at Mevagissey, Cornwall, at 1625hrs on Sunday September 3, 2006.

We have also raised more than £144,000 for the Meningitis Trust. Originally our target was £20,000, but we've now exceeded our second milestone of £100,000. With your help we can continue to increase this sum...
