‘We don’t talk to each other. We have our separate lives. What can you say?’ – How a bid to row from New York to Galway cost a friendship

Man vs Ocean, 112 Days trailer
When Fergus Farrell and Damian Browne planned a record-breaking crossing of the Atlantic in the summer of last year they knew better than to underestimate the awesome power of the ocean.
