Brothers from Scotland, drained from a long row across the Pacific, safely return to land.

In a remarkable feat of endurance and determination, the MacLean brothers - Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan - embarked on a 139-day journey across the Pacific Ocean, setting records and overcoming numerous challenges along the way.

The brothers, who had never rowed professionally, began their epic adventure in April, setting off from Lima, Peru, in a carbon fibre dinghy. Their destination was Australia, a journey spanning an impressive 14,500 km.

In 2020, the MacLeans had already made headlines when they broke three world records while crossing the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in just 35 days. However, their Pacific Ocean journey proved to be even more arduous.

During their voyage, the brothers faced violent storms and sickness, as well as moments of exhaustion and fear of running out of food. Despite these challenges, their spirits were lifted by the support of their supporters. The brothers have shared that they relied heavily on each other, lifting one another up during difficult times.

One of the most significant milestones of their journey was completing the Pacific Ocean crossing as the fastest human-powered, non-stop, unsupported crossing. Upon arrival in Cairns, they announced their achievement, marking a significant moment in ocean rowing history.

The MacLean brothers' Pacific Ocean journey from South America to Australia is relatively rare, making their feat even more impressive. In addition to their record-breaking achievement, the brothers are also raising money for clean water projects in Madagascar.

The journey was not without setbacks, with the brothers finding themselves lost at times. One of the most notable setbacks was experienced by Lithuanian solo rower Aurimas Mockus, who had to abandon his Pacific crossing attempt due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Throughout their journey, the MacLean brothers faced adversity head-on, demonstrating resilience, determination, and an unwavering spirit. Ewan MacLean stated that the Pacific Ocean crossing was the hardest thing he's ever done, a testament to the challenges they faced and the strength they demonstrated.

Upon their return, the MacLean brothers were met with a bagpipe welcome in front of their family and friends. Their incredible journey has undoubtedly inspired many, showcasing the power of determination, teamwork, and the human spirit. As of now, there are no available or verified search results indicating who has completed the fastest unsupported, unbroken human crossing of the entire Pacific Ocean starting in 2025, leaving the MacLean brothers' achievement as a benchmark for future ocean rowers.
