Dangerous trip across Atlantic Ocean: Man rows boat from NYC to Ireland

foxnews.com:

Retired rugby player Damian Browne of Galway, Ireland, became the first person to row from New York City to Ireland after his boat made a treacherous arrival on the coast of County Galway in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Oct.

4, 2022, Irish broadcaster RTE reported. Browne left New York City on June 14 in his Cushlamachree, a 20-foot ocean rowing boat that was custom-built for this journey.

The term "Cushlamachree" means "darling" or "sweetheart" in Irish, according to Merriam-Webster. This is the second time Browne has rowed across the Atlantic, although it was the first time he went east.

In 2018, he rowed from San Sebastian, Spain, to the Caribbean island of Antigua. In another adventure, Browne also climbed Mount Everest last year, according to Browne's personal website.
