The tale of true spirit and resilience exhibited by the first individual to row solo across the Atlantic will be told in a new radio documentary.
“112” follows the remarkable journey of Damien Brown who embarked on a 112-day odyssey from New York to Galway, showcasing his unwavering determination and courage as he battled against the elements.
Joined initially by rowing partner Fergus ‘Gussy’ Farrell, who fell ill after 13 days and had to withdraw, Damian navigated the treacherous waters alone, while confronted with severe weather conditions and the immense trials of the open sea.
Produced by Clare FM’s Programme Director and Head of Operations, Padraic Flaherty, “112” delves deep into Damian’s physical and mental challenges throughout his extraordinary endeavour.
In this excerpt, Damian recounts how he remained safe during the capsizing of his boat, Cushlamachree.
“112” will be broadcast on Clare FM’s Morning Focus this Tuesday from 11am.
