The awesome @TeamIthaca has successfully navigated the Pentland Firth, one of the strongest tidal streams in the world. It might look calm, but this is a dangerous stretch of water. Well done ladies! #OceanRowing #RowWithAPurpose #OceanPollution #WorldsToughestRow

Our boat fitted with science kit exhibited at @portsmouthuni as part as the PlasticsFuture conference @UoPPlastics. PhD student @LauraFantuzzi3 presented our work to tackle microplastics pollution in British seas. #rowing #withapurpose

@paddy_de @GBRow2023 😍😍😍 we heard the buzz of a drone flying this morning but couldn’t see anything! Thank you so much for these, they’re incredible!

@GBRow2023 Took some photos of the rowers as they passed Donaghadee this morning

Sky News military analyst, retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell, wishes Team Ithaca good luck in their row around Great Britain. Thank you Sean - this will give the crew a real boost! @SkyNews @TeamIthaca #rowwithapurpose #gbrow #worldstoughestrow #worldstoughestrowingrace

Today is #WorldOceanDay. A day to celebrate our oceans, which are the frontline against climate change. @TeamIthaca is rowing around GB🇬🇧collecting data on ocean pollution and biodiversity, to help scientists understand our seas and ultimately protect them. #OceanClimateAction

@kosullivan2012 @GBRow2023 Safety first - as always 😃 hoping to be on our way on Saturday

The @TeamIthaca crew had a fantastic start on Sunday, but after battling against some fierce winds over the last couple of days, they've decided to anchor up and take shelter. ⚓️

@GBRow2023 @TeamIthaca 🙏 the wind settles and you can get back on course soon 💪

@sanders_crook @GBRow2023 Saturday is looking to be the day 🤞

@GrahamTutthill @GBRow2023 We’re setting off again on Saturday 👌 so hopefully we’ll see you soon!

@GBRow2023 @TeamIthaca Still hoping to see you as you pass #Dover

@CarolKefford Weather dances are needed! Saturday is looking good 👌

We’re currently on anchor, taking shelter from the wind. Our ‘Plan A’ for the first 48 hours was always ambitious, given the strength of the wind forecast (with it being a race, we can’t choose the start date!). Nevertheless we gave it a go, but couldn’t get round the corner.

Good Luck Amy and @TeamIthaca who set off on their GB Row Challenge today! #OceanRowing #oceanrowingtraining #Devon #England

Our aim still remains the same, to get round safely and make sure we can collect the scientific data.

The wind is continuing to build and it’s likely we will be here until Saturday morning. It’s inevitable that we will have to anchor as we go round given the unpredictable British weather and multiple tides to contend with - something that is very different to an Atlantic crossing

@GBRow2023 @TeamIthaca @portsmouthuni @Harwin @RS_Aqua @porvairsciences Go girlies. I’ll follow you every step of the way. May good fortune be with you.

@GBRow2023 @TeamIthaca @portsmouthuni @Harwin @RS_Aqua @porvairsciences Just saw BBC news - best of luck & good wishes to you all on this great endeavour. 💕☘️😊🙏🫖
