Brothers set record with 140-day row across the Pacific

The three Scottish brothers broke a new record to attract a shovel in the world’s largest ocean, and came to Australia 140 days later in the sea and a fresh pizza melody.

Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan Maclean were covered more than 14,000 km from Peru to Cairns, where they became the first team to finish the full transition just before Saturday.

Severe storms, including a brother who wears a brother in the sea, forced them to arrive and plan for arrival on Friday that collects more than $ 1.64 million (STG796,998).

Money will finance the projects that provide clean water through the Maclean Foundation, a charity organization of the brothers for 40,000 people living in Madagascar.

Trio’s fans include film stars Ewan McGregor and Mark Wahlberg and Flea of ​​Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The brothers also collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from sponsorships with whiskey distillers such as Nadir Whiskey 101 and Talisker, and paid tribute to their past as a whiskey expert.

Emotional scenes were stolen by shaking the flags of Scottish, Australia and England, who played for Cairns Marlin Marina.

The trio was embraced by more than 50 friends and families from England when they set foot on the pier before enjoying a newly cooked Margherita pizza.

During the hours before his arrival, his eldest brother Ewan loaded a video calling Marina before his approaches.

“Do you have pizza and beer? I repeat, do you have pizza and beer?

“Since April 12, our lives are on this boat,” he took under it.

“All we know is constantly rowing, just breaking for a broken sleep in a congested cabin, evacuating our thoughts on a daily basis and eating and correcting broken things.

He described his 33 -year -old journey as the most difficult thing he had ever had and could not think without his brothers.

“We poured tears of joy and laughed until our cheeks hurt.”

“And from time to time we cried with sadness and fear, but our souls have been removed over and over again with the support of gathering too much behind us.”

31 -year -old middle brother Jamie said he started to look terrible towards the end of things.

“We really thought we could run out of food,” he said.

“Even though we were exhausted, we had to increase and do a gear before the ingredients ended, but now we don’t eat suitable foods.

“The ocean shovel gave us a new appreciation for the new things we gave us – taking a shower, lying in bed or leaning against something fixed.”

In 2014, the previous record was 160 days for the fastest, uncertain, uninterrupted pacific order determined by Russian solo rowing Fyodor Konyukhov.

Maclean brothers completed the journey in 139 days and five hours 52 minutes.
