Meet the Dreamboats! The British-born, Charleston-based duo of Restaurateur Ben Towill and Chef Charlie Layton of Basic Projects are preparing to row across the Atlantic Ocean in the 2022 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. They were inspired to take on this extraordinary feat of athletic and mental endurance when they were in the depths of the most challenging days of running a restaurant during the Covid pandemic.
How the Antigua rowers’ donation is having a ripple effect towards charity
By Elesha George
Head of the Antigua and Barbuda Search and Rescue (ABSAR), Johnathan Cornelius is welcoming the financial assistance from the Rotary Club of Antigua Sundown.
Last week, Team Antigua Pairs Joseph Nunes and Travis Weste donated the proceeds that they raised through their participation in the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge to the Rotary Club of Antigua (RCA) Sundown. This was done through the sale of T-shirts and Rash Guards, along with donations from kind sponsors.
Random acts of kindness, even the smallest of them are said to have a bigger effect on the lives of people and that is exactly what happened when the two rowers donated the money they raised from their campaign to the club.
