The group consisted of Chris Jenkins, Tim Garratt, Wayne Davey and Joby Newton.
[4] Thirteen days into the row, at 01:00 BST, Falmouth Coastguard was alerted by the team via satellite phone that the Scilly Boys had capsized due to low visibility and high winds, leading to a rescue operation.
The United States Coast Guard, once alerted, coordinated the rescue and a merchant ship, the Gulf Grace, and a Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft were sent to the boat's last known position.
[1][2] After disembarking the Gulf Grace in Gibraltar, the team flew back to the United Kingdom, arriving at Penzance Quay to board the RMV Scillonian III which would take them back home to the Isles of Scilly.
[6] The BBC series An Island Parish filmed a special episode documenting the group's experience.
