In this episode of For the Love of Weather, hosts Gemma and Aisling are joined by adventurers Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne, the first women to complete a non-stop, unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean.

They share their remarkable story of how a conversation about “what next?” soon became one of the world’s toughest record breaking adventures, rowing from Peru to Cairns.

After a devastating equipment failure forced them to abandon their first attempt, they returned to ocean to finish what they started. With two-hour rowing shifts, minimal sleep, limited fresh water, and constant exposure to the weather, every day became a test of resilience.
