3 Scottish brothers set a world record for fastest Pacific row | AI News Digest
Three Scottish brothers, Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean, have set a new world record for the fastest unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean, completing the journey in 139 days. They rowed over 9,000 miles from Peru to Cairns, Australia, overcoming numerous challenges including storms and seasickness. The brothers raised over £700,000 for clean water projects during their adventure, which they celebrated by playing bagpipes upon arrival. Their journey not only broke a record but also provided them with a profound new perspective on life. The previous record was held by Russian rower Fyodor Konyukhov at 160 days. The Macleans plan to continue their fundraising efforts to support clean water initiatives in Madagascar.
