teapigs matcha fans and all round amazing rowing ladies Annabel and Laura (otherwise known as The Coxless Rowers) are embarking on an fantastic challenge. Next year will see them become the first all female team to row the Pacific from Long Beach to Cairns (that’s nearly 8000 miles) We have been involved with the Coxless Rowers for a little while now and love their determination and dedication and the fact they love tea, well that’s the icing on the cake!
Do you fancy taking on the challenge and getting involved in this amazing adventure? Annabel and Laura are on the hunt for two more fabulous ladies to join them on their voyage. If you have what it takes, read on!
We are currently looking for two more women to join our four man boat. We will become the first all female team to row the Pacific Ocean in April 2014, breaking three World Records in the process.
We will be rowing for Breast Cancer Care as it is a charity that is close to both of our hearts. We are also working with The Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF) who share the same philosophy of inspiring women to be involved in sport.
The journey starts from now and will require commitment, determination, both physical and mental strength and most importantly, solid teamwork.
For us, it’s about the person – someone 100% committed to the team particularly during the run-up to the row, who is head strong and who can cope with sleep deprivation. More importantly, we are looking for two women who are open to an adventure, and bond well with us as a team. This is about having fun and above all, enjoying every moment of being on the ocean.
