Get ready to drop anchor into the middle of the Pacific – or at least feel like you do – with Ewan, Jamie & Lachlan MacLean, the Scottish trio currently rowing non-stop across the Pacific, and Rob Wainwright, former professional rugby player. In this episode, Rob joins the brothers onboard their carbon‑fibre vessel Rose Emily, sharing freeze‑dried chilli con carne at the galley table while both crews are deep into their shift rotations.
They dig into:
How Rob’s transition from team sports to ultra‑endurance informs his take on teamwork, pacing, and mental toughness
The shared mindset that bridges ocean rowing and endurance athletics
The MacLeans’ daily rhythm: rowing in 2-hour shifts, battling salt sores and fatigue, yet finding moments to laugh and reconnect over evening freeze‑dried dinners
If you’ve ever wondered what binds an ocean‑rower and an former British and Irish Lions rugby player around a dehydrated meal in the middle of nowhere—the strategies, empathy, and unspoken bonds—they reveal it here.
Tune in for resilience, connection, and a pinch of chilli con carne. 🚣♂️🌊
