So far the group has raised $770,000 Individuals from various countries attempt to row across the Atlantic Ocean. The race began in San Sebastian in LaGomera, Canary Island, and will end at Antigua, located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Atlantic Campaign race officials predict an arrival date on January 29.
