After 80 days at sea, facing wind, rain, tides, lightening, live firing ranges, entangled fishing gear and ships on a collision course with them Mother Nature has got one more storm to throw at Allan and Mhairi.

After they reached Tobermory Storm Lillian rolled into the west coast of Scotland and forced them to make the hardest decision about The Long Row Home yet.

Faced with pausing their row Allan and Mhairi describe what bought them step ashore and how they have been overwhelmed by support since.

Listen to the end to find out how much they have smashed their fundraising target by.

Lots and lots has happened since the last update from Boudicea. As they left Gigha loaded with some sound local knowledge from a fisherman the row has been a battle of tides, weather, getting tangled in fishing gear and being anchored just below Allan’s favourite whisky distillery on Jura.

While they were dodging the weather, they also had to navigate around the 3rd largest whirlpool in the world, the Gulf of Corryvreckan, before they could reach the relatively sheltered waters of the Sound of Mull.

This should have been the start of the home straight, rowing through the beautiful north west Scottish highlands before turning along the north coast and home to Wick. But Mother Nature had other plans for them.

Make sure you listen to Tobermory part 2 to hear from Allan and Mhairi exactly why they made the national news headlines.

When the going gets tough, the tough get rowing. What should have been celebrations and joy at being back in Scottish water has been some of the toughest hours of The Long Row Home yet.

Physically and mentally the challenging tides and conditions around the Mull of Kintyre have proven to be almost, but not quite, enough to end the row. But Allan and Mhairi have picked themselves out of their pit of despair by rowing for one more hour, then one more hour.

Eventually they got shelter at Gigha, but were tired and in pain after 9 brutal hours on the oars.

Home feels tantalisingly close now, which in some ways makes it all harder during the tough times.
