Hampshire's Jess Rowe completes epic Pacific row after spending six months at sea

For 165 days, Jess Rowe was among the most isolated people on Earth. Alongside her teammate Miriam Payne in a nine-metre boat between Peru and Australia, they saw just six ships and no other human faces for more than 100 days — yet millions followed their journey online.
The British pair arrived in Cairns, Queensland, on Saturday, October 18 as the Seas the Day Ocean Rowing Team, becoming the first women’s team ever to row the full Pacific Ocean non-stop and unsupported — a record that places them among the world’s elite ocean rowers.
