Antigua is the finishing point for a 2500 mile rowing race that began in January in the Canary Islands. There are 29 boats in the race and are manned by single, pairs or four rowers. The first boat came in on February 26 after 52 days at sea. Charlie Pitcher stepped onto the dock to greet a small crowd gathered in English Harbour. He looked a little tired and sunburned but happy to be on solid ground. You can check out the progress of the other boats still out there at: http://www.atlanticrowingrace09.com/progress/
