East Anglian rowing team win Atlantic race

Four friends from East Anglia have rowed their way into the history books after winning the Atlantic Challenge race.
Angus Collins, from Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex; Colchester's Joe Barnett; Gus Barton from Diss, Norfolk and Jack Mayhew from Levington, Suffolk, have arrived in Antigua after a 3,000 mile (4,828km) journey across the Atlantic.
The team, in high spirits, told reporters how there hadn't been a "cross word" between them in the 37-day gruelling trip in which they encountered 40ft (12m) waves.
They beat the previous record set by four days.
