3 Scottish brothers set world record for fastest Pacific row

Three Scottish brothers, Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean, broke the world record for the fastest unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean. Their 9,000-mile journey from Peru to Australia took 139 days, beating the previous record by 21 days. They faced numerous challenges, including storms, seasickness, and injuries, but persevered, raising over £700,000 for clean water projects. Their arrival in Cairns was met with celebration by family and supporters. The brothers plan to continue fundraising to provide clean water to 40,000 people in Madagascar.
