Maltese rower Steve Chetcuti has, along with 4 other people, traversed an incredible 6,000 km across the Atlantic. The crew landed in French Guiana this Thursday after leaving Portugal back in March 1st. They endured everything from waves, winds, injuries and fatigue, but have overcome all odds and succeeded in completed the brutal journey, as Chetcuti himself described it.
Commenting on the experience, Steve said that it was a great experience and he is glad to have ‘collected money for a different number of charities. I finally made it!’. The challenges proved to be mental as Steve and his crew had to cope with isolation, repetitiveness and separation from their families for long time periods. Steve is now the second Maltese to row the Atlantic, paying tribute to his brother who lost the battle with cancer two years ago.
