Crossing the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat, pizza-bound Scots embark on their journey.
In an incredible feat of endurance and determination, the Maclean brothers - Jamie, Ewan, and Lachlan - have broken the record for the longest unsupported rowing journey across the Pacific. The brothers, who hail from Scotland, completed their 9,000-mile (14,484 km) voyage from South America to Australia in just 139 days, smashing the previous record set by Russian Fedor Konyukhov in 2014.
The brothers' custom-made boat, "Rose Emily," carried 500 kilograms (approximately 1,102 pounds) of food and supplies, with no accompanying boat or resupply. The journey, which took place over 139 days in a rowing boat, covered nearly 9,000 miles (14,484 km).
The Maclean brothers' athletic feat was an incredible, relentless, and often surreal experience, according to Jamie Maclean. The brothers had to push harder towards the end of the journey to avoid running out of supplies. Ewan Maclean (33) shared that there were times during the journey when they cried from sadness and fear, but the support of their supporters helped alleviate their emotional struggles.
The Maclean brothers' journey was a fundraising effort for water projects. The Maclean Foundation, founded by the brothers, aims to raise one million pounds to provide clean water to communities in need. Upon arrival in Cairns, Australia on Saturday, Jamie Maclean expressed a desire for a pizza, a treat he hadn't had in over four months.
The Maclean brothers' journey is a testament to the power of human spirit and determination. Their incredible achievement will undoubtedly inspire many for years to come.
