Adam Kreek's crewmates Markus Pukonen and Jordan Hanssen recover their capsized boat from the OAR Northwest Africa to the Americas expedition.

The four, including Kreek, had been attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean in a project with the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Olympic rower Adam Kreek arrived at the Vancouver airport Saturday morning, after what he calls a "harrowing life experience" in the Atlantic Ocean.

The OAR Northwest ocean rowing team was less than 850 nautical miles away from becoming the first people to row from Africa to the United State when a series of waves capsized their boat.

Canadian Olympic gold medal rower Adam Kreek, who has one young child and another on the way, says he won't be available to try again any time soon after his team failed in a bid to row across the Atlantic.
