A father and daughter team have raised about £40,000 and scored a competition first by rowing across the Atlantic.
Roger and Brittany Staniforth, from Loughborough, battled exhaustion, 40ft (12m) waves and even having the boat holed by a grumpy marlin.
They arrived in Antigua in the early hours of Wednesday having covered the 3,000-mile (4,828 km) trip in just under 46 days.
They are the first father and daughter to complete the challenge.
Team Generation Gap - named to reflect the age difference between father, 59, and daughter, 28 - set off from San Sebastián de La Gomera in the Canary Islands on 12 December as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
