Scottish rowing brothers aim for record-breaking Pacific crossing

Scottish rowing brothers set off in a carbon fiber dinghy from Lima, aiming to reach Sydney in Australia 9,000 miles away in about four months. The three Scottish brothers have embarked on the mammoth journey from Peru hoping to set a record time for rowing across the Pacific Ocean.

The brothers plan to sleep five to six hours every 24 hours and row 12 to 14 hours a day for 120 to 150 days." Clean water is the most basic human need on the planet but 10 percent of people worldwide don't have access to it," they said on their website. The brothers broke three world records crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 2020, without ever having rowed professionally, raising more than $260,000 for charity.
