With a continued focus from international organisations on promoting gender equality around the world, Antigua Sailing Week (A.S.W.) has worked with the Antigua and Barbuda Sailing Association (A.B.S.A) and the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Association (A.B.M.A.) to pioneer a mentorship program to encourage girls and women to consider the sport and business of sailing.

President of Antigua Sailing Week, Alison Sly-Adams said, ‘When we devised the programme we looked at existing successful mentorship programmes worldwide and in particular the Magenta Project.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (VOP) broadcast from the Antigua Dockyard, where Travis Weste and Joseph
‘JoJo’ Nunes were about to make landfall. It was roughly 1:50 pm, and the gathering was peering eagerly for the first glimpse of the rowers rounding the bend across from Fort Berkeley. Gemma spoke of the profusion of Antigua and Barbuda flags, as the proud families of our two heroic sons assembled on either side of a grand stage. She described the horns and the whistles, and our VOP guest at the time, Gladys Potter, the United Progressive Party’s candidate for St John’s Rural South, shared that she was getting goose-bumps, caught up in the rapture of it all.

Horns blared, smoke blazed and beaming relatives brandishing Antigua and Barbuda flags set the scene for a true heroes’ welcome for Jojo Nunes and Travis Weste.
The intrepid duo completed the torturous 3,000-mile row from the Canary Islands to English Harbour in 47 days, six hours and 57 minutes.
There was rapturous applause from onlookers – and the heart-melting cries of “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy” from one of Weste’s three sons – as their boat loomed into view escorted by the Coast Guard. ....
