My story

WWW.ROWAURORA.CO.UK
This December, two seasoned ocean adventurers will launch an extraordinary journey that will test the limits of human resilience, celebrate the power of homecoming, and inspire communities across two continents.
 
Dawn Smith (Founder of Row Aurora) and Paul Lore (Founder of Oarsome Expeditions) are embarking on their most ambitious expedition yet—a transatlantic journey that will redefine the limits of endurance and adventure.
 
"This isn’t just an expedition—it’s proof that no ocean is too wide, no dream too big, and  age or background is no barrier to adventure.“ There are no limits.
—Dawn Smith
