After more than two months alone at sea, Tim Crockett finished his 3,200-mile solo row across the Atlantic Ocean last Wednesday by making landfall in Antigua in the Caribbean. Starting from the island of La Gomera off Africa’s northwestern coast on Dec. 12, Wednesday’s completion put his trek time at 63 days, 2 hours and 37 minutes. A 48-year-old Royal Marine veteran, husband and father of two, Crockett had been one of only five solo rowers in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, an annual race across the Atlantic. Other participants in the challenge rowed in groups of two, three or four. Crockett placed second out of the solo teams, beaten only by 18-year old Lukas Haitzmann, who completed the event in 59 days, 8 hours and 22 minutes. Over the course of his excursion, Crockett celebrated Christmas and his birthday in his boat “Tame the Kraken,” a 24-foot, specially designed ocean rowboat specially designed to right itself if it capsizes in stormy weather. In a video posted Wednesday morning on the “Tame the Kraken” Facebook page, Crockett had told followers he was just under 12 miles away from harbor. “I may look like an Arctic explorer, but I’ve just been hit by some pretty nasty squalls,” Crockett said. “Hopefully we’re through the worst of that, we’ll get through these few final miles and it will be a fantastic welcome into Antigua.” The trek was Crockett’s effort to raise money for U.S. and British veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. He served 12 years in the Royal Marines, seeing action in the first Iraq war and doing drug interdiction work in the seas as a member of the United Kingdom’s Special Boat Service. The motivation for his journey, he previously told the MDJ, came when an old military buddy committed suicide. Crockett had initially set a goal of completing his trek in 50 days or less, but complicating the effort early on was an injury — he tweaked his knee on the second night of the marathon. Other roadblocks on the sea included mechanical and equipment failure, sunburns and extreme heat. Check out my interview with Tim from this past June and make sure you get over to his website and donate some money.

If you’ve ever seen the film Taken, you will be familiar with the the quote “…what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.” This sums up Tim. We covered a lot in this podcast... Continue Reading →
This week we have Tim Crockett. Here is an exert from this site and what he is doing. "My name is Tim Crockett and I’m going to row a 23ft boat, 'The Kraken', across the Atlantic ocean. I'm doing this for very good reason: as a holder of both American and British passports, and being a Special-Forces veteran, I am painfully aware that many US and UK soldiers are struggling with depression, anxiety, alienation and thoughts of suicide brought on by PTSD. The journey I face is my way to raise awareness, educate and to start connecting those who need help with those that are there to provide assistance. My pending journey is to take part in the 2018 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, a race of more than 3,000 nautical miles from the Canary Islands to Antigua across the Atlantic Ocean. Considered by some to be one of the toughest challenges on earth. To put it into perspective, more people have scaled Everest or have journeyed into space than have rowed across the Atlantic. Even fewer have rowed it solo. While I’ll be alone in the Atlantic, I need your help to get me there and by doing so you will be helping many other tame their own personal 'Kraken'."

Tim Crockett is a veteran of the British Royal Marines and Special Boat Service with service in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, and various other international assignments. He then worked as a security consultant for various clients including Turner Broadcasting, Al Jazeera America, VICE, and CNN International. He was instrumental CNN’s acquisition of a VHS tape library that showed Al Qaeda’s chemical gas experiments, terrorist training tactics, and previously unseen images of Bin Laden and his top aides in Afghanistan. He currently works in travel risk management, and international medical, security, and travel assistance. Tim plans to row across the Atlantic Ocean solo and unassisted, which means he will not receive any resupply during the 3000 nautical mile journey. He will take part in an annual race called the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, which has been going on for more than 20 years now. Tim will attempt this amazing feat of human physical and mental endurance at the end of this year in order to raise awareness for veteran suicide and promote the individual connections that truly make the difference for those struggling.
Tim Crockett met me in Athens, Georgia to tell me about the monumental feat he is undertaking. Tim is going to row, BY HIMSELF, across the Atlantic Ocean. He'll be miles from the nearest boat or assistance. He'll have limited supplies. The guy is absolutely crazy in the best way possible. Come along to hear how he's going to do it.
Tim Crockett should never have sneaked into the mine on Dornsef Mountain.
