What drives people to drop everything and take up a challenge that pushes them to their mental and physical limits?

Tom and Mike are still figuring that out even after completing two major events together.

In 2009 Hull played host to the start of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and they were both part of the crew of the homeport boat, Hull & Humber. Neither had done anything like it before but waved goodbye to their jobs and normal life for almost a year.

The experience proved so life affirming and bonding that they teamed up again a few years later to row across the Atlantic together.

Recorded on Bridlington seafront, they discuss the pull of the ocean.
