Kim and Lieven with Brothership, their ocean rowing boat

Gran Canaria → the Caribbean · December 2026

Salt in our blood.
A very stubborn streak.

Kim is a scientist living with Type 1 Diabetes. Lieven coaches teams through pressure for a living. For years, a grey heron we call Hector has joined our training rows along the Brussels canal — his sudden cry feels like a dare. In December, we answer it. 2,800 miles across the Atlantic. By oar, alone.
