When four middle-aged British mothers announced they were going to row across the Atlantic, everyone thought they were crazy: with an average age of 47, two children each, and absolutely no prior experience in open-water rowing. Yet three years later, they set off alongside some of the world’s top ocean adventurers to begin the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. This challenge, regarded as the world’s most difficult open-water endurance test, threw all kinds of hurdles at the mothers from the very beginning. It’s the story of four ordinary people who dared to dream of becoming the oldest women in the world to row across an ocean.
 
When four British middle-aged working mums announced that they wanted to row the Atlantic Ocean, their families thought they had lost their minds: With an average age of 47 between them, they had two children each, and no ocean rowing experience. 
 

Three years later they were lining up alongside some of the world’s strongest ocean adventurers at the start of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Considered one of the toughest ocean endurance challenges on the planet, the odds were stacked against the mums from the start. This is the story of four ordinary women who dared to dream of becoming world record breakers as the oldest women ever to row an ocean. Four Mums in a Boat is a journey of determination, possibility and personal discovery.
