… he’s doing it with his son.
It’s just the two of them in a 24 ft. boat with no outside help. They alternate 2-hour shifts, sleeping and rowing for at least 45-days.
The Why
Tim Crockett has never known a life without service. When he lost two of his Veteran brothers to suicide, that passion to serve found a new focus.
This is a story about mental health. It is a story about facing the Kraken within, and striving to harness the terrifying power of those demons.
about the team
Tim Crockett, The Captain
Born in England, Tim became a Royal Marine Commando before joining the Special Boat Service (think British Navy SEALs).
After more than a decade of service, Crockett took his skillset into the private sector. He served in multiple leadership rolls with a focus on risk management, travel in hostile environments, and security.
His work (including time at CNN, where he worked with this project's Executive Producer) took him to Central
Africa, Afghanistan, The Middle East, and the Amazon jungle.
Now the Co-Founder of Flying Frog Consultants, Tim is a deeply devoted family man and a tireless champion of mental health and Veterans.
Harrison Crockett, The First Mate
Harrison - born in the UK and raised in the US - is a 19-year-old college freshman, majoring in Arabic and International Relations.
Harrison's keen mind is more global than the average young person. Service is in his blood. He doesn’t just want to understand, he wants to help.
Harrison is competitive too, and he’ll need that out on the water. Because this isn’t chess or D&D (his chosen games of skill). This is life and death - and a chance to do something no one his age has ever accomplished.
Harrison is ready for this. With his blend of curiosity, big thinking, commitment to service, and adventurous spirit, this young man is poised to make a profound impact on the world.
