Dinger has been feeling down recently - the storm scared him a little and it's impacted his morale. Today though he reminded himself that the ocean will decide how quickly he crosses and that he needs to just concentrate on taking enjoyment from his remaining 700 odd miles!

Tomorrow, join us and our partner @Intellian for an interview with Billy Taylor, founder and skipper of the @_monkeyfist rowing team to learn about their adventures across the Atlantic Ocean 🐒👊 https://t.co/XWgKajZaEI

@globeprintuk supplied Drytac Polar Grip Matte film for an intense endurance challenge which saw a team of four men from @_monkeyfist row 3,200 miles non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean for over 45 days: https://t.co/qTSSYdKEPj

Although it's been mostly just to get some southerly direction, just a few times the wind swung round to follow Dinger yesterday - and rowing it in made him feel a million pesetas! 😁

Morale is up again onboard the good ship Billy No Mates👌

Hey folks!

The final episode of the podcast is now out if you want to head over to Spotify, Apple podcasts or any other podcast service.

Episode 20 has the guys tell us what it's like being back home and how they now feel about the row looking back.

Johnny Ward talks to the @BBCNews about why the Atlantic Ocean row was the hardest thing he has ever done. @HUMENorg is one of the organizations that Johnny and his @_monkeyfist crewmates Billy, Martin & Matt rowed for. https://t.co/4BzjLLOGAH

Now the row is over you might be wondering whats happened since

Johnny Martin and Mathew have head home leaving Billy to sort out the boat. He has just dealt with the leftovers

"We donated a couple of meals to the St Johns soup kitchen yesterday (Adoptafamily Raguette)"

This is what 50 days at sea looks like.

Sun damaged, emotionally drained, battered by the waves and pushed around by the wind.

But our crew is still smiling! What an achievement for the #Atlanticdash team.

[BBC News NI @BBCNewsNI]

Three crewmates, 57 days at sea and 3,200 miles of ocean - for Johnny Ward, a travel blogger originally from County Down, rowing the Atlantic was the toughest challenge of his life 🚣‍♂️🌊 https://t.co/aFVM0rJyJW

[Dave “Dinger” Bell @NY2UKSoloRow]

One of the people Dinger trained with was Matt Pritchard from @MTVEurope's 'Dirty Sanchez' and @BBC's 'Dirty Vegan'.
•
2 days ago Pritch finished his Atlantic row (East to West) with the @_Monkeyfist team, and has now effectively tagged in Dinger to row back the opposite way! ➡️

[Intellian Technologies @Intellian]

Congratulations @_monkeyfist on your amazing achievement! The 3,200 miles rowed in 50 days 5 hrs & 7 mins from Lanzarote to Antigua is a testament to your determination. The updates sent over the @IridiumComm Certus C700 kept us all entertained & inspired. https://t.co/l04YIMR2cC

[Agile Therapy @agiletherapy]

HUGE well done to our Sporting Ambassador, Mat Pritchard, and his team for rowing a WORLD FIRST from Fuerteventura to Antigua! 🚣🎉 They've done an amazing job raising money for @DeanFarmTrust and @HUMENorg and it's not too late to donate! 👇
