Quote:Two British women have completed an 8,213 nautical mile non-stop row across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in the Australian coastal city of Cairns after a near six-month voyage from Peru.
Miriam Payne and Jess Rowe were unsupported across the vast expanse of ocean, spending around 15 hours each day at the oars to become the first all-female pair to achieve the feat.

I don't think I'd want to look at boats or water for a while after that!

After six months together I probably wouldn't want to speak with my rowing partner for a while after, either!
