We did it! Brothers row Atlantic to win £5 bet with Dad

- By Isaan Khan

THREE brothers rowed 3,000 miles for over a month across the Atlantic – to win a £5 bet with their Dad.

As youngsters, ( from left) Louis, 27, Felix, 26, and Finn Ambrose, 23, watched father Hugo arrive in Barbados after 59 days at sea and vowed they could do it quicker.

Two decades on, they made it to Antigua this week as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge and Dad met them with a £5 note.

The trio, from Lymington, Hampshire, made the journey from the Canary Islands in 36 days.

They rowed 80 miles a day in their boat Ambrosia and raised £23,000 for charity. Finn said: ‘We made the bet as a bit of a joke and it all got rather out of control.’
