The trio are aiming to break three records with their venture when they set off from Peru, South America, in April 2025.
Lottie Hopkinson-Woolley , Miriam Payne and Jess Rowe will be rowing across the Pacific Ocean non-stop and unsupported
The team, named Seas The Day, hopes to become the youngest group to row across the Pacific Ocean, as well as the first trio to take on the challenge non-stop and unsupported. “If a child comes up to us and says we made them want to run 10k for example, that’s a big thing in itself.” Both Miss Rowe and Miss Payne have previous experience rowing across the Atlantic Ocean – with the latter tackling the feat solo as part of The World’s Toughest Row in 2023.
“This is like a survival challenge really because we are completely unsupported, it’s a huge ocean, we’ve got to do all of the maintenance on board.” “But there’s also a lot of terrifying things like being in a storm in the middle of the night, you can’t see where a wave is coming from and it’s like being in a washing machine that’s malfunctioning.Throughout the challenge, named The Great Pacific Escapade, the trio will aim to eat roughly 5,000 calories each day to keep them fuelled, including freeze-dried food.
