🚣♂️ Three Scottish Brothers. One Boat. 9,000 Miles. One Giant Leap for Clean Water | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges What do you get when you mix three fearless Scottish brothers, 9,000 miles of open Pacific Ocean, no support crew, and a dream to change the world? You get the McLean brothers—Ewan, Lachlan, and Jamie—on an epic row from Lima, Peru to Sydney, Australia…and they called in mid-journey to tell Norm and Mary Hitzges all about it. These aren’t your average weekend paddlers. They’re world-record-setting adventurers, the youngest trio to row across the Atlantic, and now they’re aiming to become the fastest to cross the Pacific—on oars. But they’re not just chasing adrenaline. They’re rowing to raise £1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar through The McLean Foundation. https://www.themacleanbrothers.com/ 🧭 CHAPTERS 0:00 – Meet the McLeans: Somewhere in the Pacific 2:52 – Weather from hell: Anticyclones and wind fights 6:21 – Rowing through marlins & madness 11:18 – Row, sleep, repeat: Life on the boat 13:36 – The Lima to Sydney game plan 16:31 – Changing lives in Madagascar 21:39 – Fish, family, and the future 💧 Join the Mission 🎯 Help the brothers bring clean water to Madagascar: https://themacleanbrothers.com 💸 Just £30 (~$50) gives clean water for life! 🌊 Tune in now for one of the most adventurous, inspiring, and wildest stories you’ll ever hear from the middle of the ocean.
