Ocean Brothers ride home………………..

Greg Bailey  and Jude Massey  brothers from Lymington were Welcomed on board P&O’s Britannia earlier this week after spending 53 days rowing across the Atlantic to raise money for the British Skin Foundation in memory of their father Peter Massey who passed away in 2015.

The Brothers set a new Guinness World Record for Jude being the youngest man complete the challenge unspported, they will also be the first to complete the journey whist on a Vegan Diet.

Their trip began back in January from Gran Canaria on a boat that measures just 7.3 metres by 1.75 metres!!!!! The have since spent 5 hours a day hand pumping water to stay hydrated and took it in turns to row for 2 hours at a time a whopping 3000 miles to Barbados.

They arrived safely last week met my their very proud mother along with other members of family and friends. Once in Barbados Captain Paul Brown had arranged for their rowing boat to be brought aboad by a crane so that they could hitch a lift back to Southampton during the Britannia’s 2 weeks repositioning cruise.

In a statement P&O Cruises senior vice president Paul Ludlow said: “We are excited and honoured to be returning Jude and Greg safely back to the UK after such an heroic undertaking. What they have achieved is simply incredible and I’m sure that our guests will be thrilled to hear about their adventures.“After their weeks on rations we are looking forward to spoiling them with food from Marco Pierre White and Atul Kochhar as well as the pizza and beer they are dreaming about.”

I am sure the Ocean Brothers are now enjoying a relaxing cruise home and I hope they are making the very most of P&O hospitality. If you would like to know more about these two siblings amazing cause please visit their Just giving page here.
