Mansfield brothers-in-law George Nelson and Russ Davis completed their remarkable three-month long transatlantic charity row on Thursday afternoon.

Aiming to raise £250,000 for dementia charities, the duo have rowed unsupported from Portugal to the Caribbean after 98 days at sea in the ‘tiny’ Innovation Nottinghamshire Memory Boat.

Known as Oar Blimey, the duo set off from Portugal on 1st December. They had been aiming for Saint Maarten in the Caribbean, but because of continuing challenging weather conditions and limited food supplies, they re-routed to aim for Antigua and Falmouth Harbour, where they were greeted by family and friends.

Team Oar Blimey rowed in a Rannoch Adventure R20, which is just 6.5m long and 1.2m wide, in their bid to help Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure and Ladybrook Enterprises.
