On this episode of Humans of Chelmsford we are joined by Dawn Wood, an Essex Police maritime skipper who is preparing for a mind-boggling challenge.
In January 2019 the former Chelmsford Rugby Club player will row singlehandedly across the Atlantic Ocean.
While much of her Atlantic adventure is based on challenging herself and trying to beat the world record – which currently stands at 49 days – there is another motive pushing Dawn forwards.
As a passionate campaigner against plastic pollution in the ocean Dawn using her challenge to raise money and to give her a platform to change attitudes.
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean – a journey of 3000 miles – on your own brings with it a number of challenges from unpredictable weather conditions to sharks swimming in the waters below.
Not only do you have to be an accomplished rower you have to master engineering skills, navigations skills and you also have to battle your mind.
However, should Dawn complete the challenge in early 2019 she will become just the sixth woman in the world to do it.

Listen to Dawn’s story above. Humans of Chelmsford is available on iTunes, Spotify, Acast, Stitcher, Player FM and on our website.
