Embedded image permalink

A South African couple rowed into the record books on Friday after becoming the first team to cross the Atlantic from Africa to the U.S
.
It took Riaan Manser and his girlfriend Vasti Geldenhuys 153-days to make the journey in their custom-built 23ft row boat. 
The couple celebrated their accomplishment with a kiss as they passed the Statue of Liberty, after enduring a 6,500-mile journey with no support crew and limited supplies.
Close quarters: The couple made the journey in a 23ft rowboat, and had no back up crew and few amenities

Adventure: The couple had hoped for calm seas but at times their 23ft boat was faced with challenging conditions
