On October 18, Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne made history by arriving on Australia's east coast after a grueling six-month journey rowing across the Pacific Ocean from Peru. The duo navigated approximately 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) in a tiny boat, taking turns in two-hour shifts to row, while also catching fish and growing vegetables to sustain themselves. Their achievement is particularly significant as they are recognized as the first all-female crew to complete this challenging voyage nonstop and unsupported. The journey, which began in April, concluded with a warm welcome in Cairns, where they shared their experiences and the challenges they faced during their remarkable adventure.
