A pair of British women have arrived on Australia’s east coast on Saturday after a gruelling journey rowing across the Pacific Ocean from Peru.
Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne crewed their boat in two-hour shifts, catching fish and growing their own vegetables to sustain themselves along the way.
The duo say they are the first all-female crew to make the roughly 13,000km (around 8,000 miles) crossing across the Pacific nonstop and unsupported.
Leaving Peru in April this year, they arrived to the cheers of supporters in Cairns, Australia on October 18. They spoke to the about their experience shortly after they completed their journey.
