A pair of half brothers from Hampshire who rowed 3000 miles across the Atlantic ocean have completed their voyage.

Greg Bailey and Jude Massey arrived in Barbados, after 53 days of rowing through a vast range of challenging conditions.

They experienced a succession of equipment failures, calamities, pain and near misses.

The duo took on the feat to try and raise £100,000 for the British Skin Foundation in memory of Jude's father and Greg's stepfather Peter Massey.

Mr Massey died in 2015 from skin cancer.

They have so far raised more than £82,000. You can donate by clicking here.

The men left Gran Canaria for Barbados on the 15th of January.

They defied all the odds, completing their voyage in a 24-foot boat with no support craft.
