A glorious morning on the water to welcome back St Barbara from her #roundbritainchallenge21 escorted up the Solent by 3 @JSASTC yachts taking part in the @rhqra RAYC Sail Training week with soldiers from @3RHA, @Airbornegunners and @47RegtRA

Ian Rivers, take a bow. The first person to row unsupported from New York to the Isles of Scilly. He’s raised tens of thousands of pounds for us and the SAS Association’s charity. Thank you, Ian, on behalf of us all at St Michael’s. Go have a well-deserved rest... @rowsentinel

A privilege to RV with Ian Rivers in the Isles of Scilly following his spectacular Atlantic row.

@rowsentinel @StMarysHbr @visitIOS I’m guessing the crew were more honoured to meet Ian. 😉 Looking forward to hearing all about it on the 29th Oct.

GUNNER SAILING 🇬🇧 Ian was honoured to be able to meet @GunnerSailing the crew of the Royal Artillery Barbara VI who were moored @StMarysHbr @visitIOS He proudly flew the ensign throughout his world first 85 day row from New York to the Isles of Scilly 🇬🇧🚣‍♀️🌊🇺🇸

St Barbara V is on her way south with a crew from NRHQ RA aboard and enjoying some great conditions. Only two more legs remain of our Round Britain Challenge 21, with over fifty Regular and Reserve Gunners having participated so far @SailArmy @rhqra

🤩🤩 He did it!! 🥳🥳 Ian Rivers has become the first person to complete an unsupported row from New York to the Scilly Isles 🇺🇸🌊🇬🇧 @rowsentinel

Please support Ian if you can. He’s only gone and rowed the Atlantic from New York, unsupported - the first person ever to do so! Although he’s completed the challenge he’s a long way from achieving his money-raising goal. Dig deep please 🙏

Awesome.

MIGHTY FINE 🤞 Ian managed to get this photo to the land crew today, doesn’t he look well! He’s spent the day preparing for yet another storm - yep! This one could last for 24 hours 🥺 He’s got lots of water and food and he’s used today’s sun to dry out his sleeping bag! ☀️

Cracking sailing conditions for 105 Regt RA returning to Dunstaffnage to complete Leg 9 of #RBC21 👍 @rhqra @TeamArmyUK @SailArmy
