Return flights from Antigua. After crossing the ocean, we also need to get back home. All of us are on two months of unpaid leave, and this final €5000 would allow us to row with peace of mind, knowing that we’ll definitely make it back home.

Series/film production costs. With this sum we can ensure that all the footage we capture at sea will be transformed into a high-quality documentary series.
