What an amazing achievement and inspiring journey to follow along. As time went on I found I was getting more and more invested in the journey. Seeing the highs and lows the ocean threw at you and your drive to just keep going. Watching the mental, physical and emotional challenges endured has been amazing to see. You have shown great courage, strength and whats possible with determination, hard work and not putting limitations on oneself - great to show your daughter's at such a young age, anything is possible. It was a good reminder to me too. Sky's the limit! Can't wait to see what is next!
Congratulations!

What can I say Daragh? When I first heard that you were taking on this epic challenge, I thought you had lost it. And when you told me that you weren't really a rower, I thought you were beyond help.
Most men of a certain age take up golf, buy a sports car or go off to a retreat to 'find themselves'. But not you. You are cut from a different cloth. Not just taking on the wrold's toughest row (the clue is in the name), but coming in first, is truly astounding. You are a beast. Hats of to you, man.
My only worry is what you are going to do next. Putting out the bins is gonna feel a bit meh!

What an incredible achievement Daragh! Watching your arrival was a very proud and exciting moment for everyone - we can't imagine how it must have felt for you. Your speech to your children was lovely, and I'm sure they'll carry that with them for years to come. The dedication, resilience, and hard work you've shown over the past few years has clearly paid off, so I hope you take a moment to take it all in. Congratulations!
