Row the Rock On Schedule For World Record

A group of Manxmen have spent the night rowing around the Isle of Man.

The team of 15 left Peel yesterday lunchtime (1:21pm) in an attempt to row the rock.

The group, many of whom have never rowed before training began earlier this year, are taking on 90 miles non stop in a traditional viking long boat.

3FM spoke to one of them, Nick Cain, he said spirits were great and they have been passing time singing the Manx National Anthem.

The attempt to make history means they have to complete the trip in under 27 hours to beat the record set in 1995. We asked if they're optimistic that they will get their names in the record books.
