How crucial is wind safety in trucking? Summit is currently assessing wind direction and velocity. Don’t overlook checking the weather before your journey! While a tailwind can improve fuel efficiency, it may steer you off course. Remember to reduce speed, stay vigilant, and recognize when it's time to halt. This reminder is brought to you in part by Paw-verification via Truckstop By verifying your pet, you can contribute to a charitable cause for your furry friends.

Whilst the Brightsides have had to take a deeper course than expected, due to the winds, and it's delayed them much more than they'd hoped...perhaps surprisingly they're considerably further ahead then the crews of the 2023 Atlantic Dash were last year. 😯 • From a race perspective, there is no real comparison between years - it doesn't necessarily mean that the Brightsides are any stronger than the teams last year, but from a weather perspective it certainly is comparable. 📈📉 • Last year the two teams had similar boats to this year, a Rannoch R45 and a Rossiters 2 - but whilst they had a faster start, and were able to take a shorter route, last year got hit by the unhelpful winds later in the race! 💨 • So whilst the Brightsides' morale took a dip at one point because of their progress...they're actually the fastest team to enter this event so far! 🏎️ • Throughout this crossing the team will be raising money for Get A-Head Charitable Trust and Meningitis Now - please donate today at https://lnkd.in/ewFcK9Vg or use the text messaging service: TEXT ROW1 to 70191 to DONATE £10 TEXT ROW3 to 70191 to DONATE £30 • Lodders Solicitors LLP Bromwich Hardy • #thebrightsides #brightsides #oceanrowing #rannoch #atlanticocean #atlanticrow #oceanrow #oceanlife #rowing #rowinglife #atlanticdash #getahead #meningitisnow

That finish line is drawing nearer

Wow!!! 🤯 • Footage from the stormy weather earlier in the row gives us an idea of how strong the conditions were, and why the team were sometimes unable to row into those conditions. 😯 • Other than waves kicking the boat around, we can see by the two lines running away from the boat in this video, that they're on para-anchor in this clip. 🪂⚓ • The left hand line is the main para-anchor line, a HUGE 70 metres of line leading to the canopy that is holding them fast in the water. The right hand line is an even longer 95 metres of line; this is the retrieval line and is made out of material that floats (to help keep it separate from the main line). This line goes all the way out and is connected to the crown of the canopy, so that when it is pulled, it easily collapses the parachute and the whole system can be hauled back to the boat. 👌 • Mostly though, it was just WILD out there!! Thankfully conditions are a little easier at this stage in the row! 🙌 • Throughout this crossing the team will be raising money for Get A-Head Charitable Trust and Meningitis Now - please donate today at https://lnkd.in/ewFcK9Vg or use the text messaging service: TEXT ROW1 to 70191 to DONATE £10 TEXT ROW3 to 70191 to DONATE £30 • Lodders Solicitors LLP Bromwich Hardy • #thebrightsides #brightsides #oceanrowing #rannoch #atlanticocean #atlanticrow #oceanrow #oceanlife #rowing #rowinglife #atlanticdash #getahead #meningitisnow

Today is National Senior Citizen Day. Did you know that seniors are at a greater risk of hunger and malnutrition, and senior veterans face a disparate amount of hunger? Consider donating today to help F4V end veteran hunger: https://lnkd.in/geb3bHkS.

Aboard their rowing boat the team had millions of calories worth of specially formulated dehydrated meals that would give them maximum calories. But for Rod, it was a simple pack of Tesco noodles that did it for him. 🍜 • A meal he referred to as 'pure heaven'. 😇 • And whilst we now need to go and recalibrate what heaven looks like - it does highlight an important point; food aboard the boat is really important from an energy perspective - but it's also really important from a psychological perspective. 🧠 • Sure, Tesco noodles are not as calorie dense as the other meals aboard - but it was a little bowl of happiness for Rod, and as he sat there, with his heavenly meal, watching the sun go down, with this three friends...that boat was a very happy place to be in deed. ☺️ • One of the reasons for sharing some of these insights is to remind everyone that the team are still raising money for Get A-Head Charitable Trust and Meningitis Now - if you enjoyed following the team and didn't have a chance to donate - now is the time!
