Atlantic Dash rowers culminate 50-day row in Antigua
Visitor numbers may be trending down a slippery slope due to the Covid-19 pandemic but advertising Antigua and Barbuda as an island destination is never ceasing.
Even with suppressed fanfare, the island continues to attract celebrities from around the world. Over the weekend, it welcomed the Atlantic Dash – a crew of four men including Dirty Vegan star Matt Pritchard, renowned travel Blogger Johnny Ward, skipper Billy Taylor, and the sea dog Martin Heseltine.
Within just an hour of landing at Falmouth, the men shared thoughts like: “It’s a beautiful island and the people are amazing. We are really, really happy to be here; we couldn’t ask for a better place to come into; and “the sand is white the sea is blue, it’s happy days”.
