Seas The Day are two incredible, female change-makers (Miriam and Jess), who have just
completed an intrepid voyage, rowing across the Pacific Ocean. The fun-loving
duo’s daring exploration is a triumph of endurance and resilience. It encapsulates
overcoming adversity with a positive mindset and encourages others to
continually pursue personal growth and development, and will hopefully inspire
the next generation to get outdoors and challenge themselves.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: The Great Pacific Escapade
On Saturday 18th October at 18:42 (Cairns, Australia local time), this
all-female, Gen Z rowing team became the first female team to row across the
Pacific Ocean (mainland to mainland), non-stop and unsupported.
Taking 165 days (nearly six months) to complete their voyage, Seas the Day
began their great Pacific escapade in Peru, South America in May 2025. They
continued west, rowing 15 hours a day, before reaching Cairns in Australia,
covering 8,213 nautical miles.
Embracing the challenges of the high seas on Velocity, their 9-meter Rossiter
Ocean 2 rowing boat, the duo used this opportunity to foster empowerment
(especially in young women), break several world records along the way, and
most importantly raise nearly £100k for The Outward Bound Trust, a UK-based
charity which helps children develop lifelong skills through adventure.
The tale of their Great Escapade is one of two halves. It highlights the
challenges faced when their rudder broke just seven days and 350 miles into
their first attempt, forcing them to return to land and plan their re-start.
Then on their second attempt, it acknowledges the sheer grit and determination
given to keep spirits high when battling driving rain and wind, 30ft waves,
blisters and salt sores, sleep deprivation and losing an oar to the ocean. And,
it details some of the more technical issues with their power system and
emergency hand pump watermaker’s failure and focusses on how resilience and a
positive mental mindset to effectively and inventively repair and manage these
issues, saving their row on more than one occasion.
