Join Ewan, Jamie & Lachlan Maclean – the Scottish brother trio who’re in the midst of a 9,000‑mile non‑stop, unsupported row across the Pacific – as they break bread (well, freeze‑dried dinners!) with endurance legend Mark Beaumont, mid‑mission. The Macleans, currently nearly halfway through their attempt to break the world record from Lima to Sydney in under 120 days, have been pushing through relentless weather, salt sores, a dodgy autohelm and a broken water maker.

In this candid and inspiring chat, they all tuck into their daily freeze‑dried meals while rowing in shifts aboard their carbon‑fibre boat Rose Emily—named in memory of their late sister. Together, they explore:

• What it’s like to row for 12–14 hours a day while juggling physical pain and sleep deprivation

• The raw mental grit required when you’re isolated in the middle of the ocean

• The driving mission behind the madness: raising over £1 million (or $1.3 million) to bring clean water to Madagascar 

• And what Mark Beaumont, himself no stranger to extreme endurance, thinks across the table as they all share the same freeze‑dried stew

This is not just an adventure story—it’s a real-time deep dive into resilience, camaraderie, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to eat your dinner hundreds of miles offshore, sleep in shifts in a cramped rowing boat, and still find hope in every stroke—this episode is for you.

Tune in and hear the Macleans and Mark ride the waves—one shared meal at a time.
