Gardaí and first responders ran to Furbo Beach in Galway overnight as former pro rugby player Damian Browne rowed onto dry land for the first time in 112 days, GalwayBeo reports
Browne became the first person ever to row from New York to Galway having left Manhattan way back in June and has set a world record in the process.
The former Leinster man finally set foot on solid ground early on Tuesday morning just before 1am. The weather conditions stopped the adventurer from reaching the Port of Galway, but he and his vessel Cushlamachree successfully made it to Furbo Beach.
