Apologies for being the boy who cried wolf, but the Maclean brothers have faced terrible winds overnight and despite rowing "three up" for 24 hours, their arrival has been delayed.
Third time lucky, the boys now look nailed on to complete their world record-breaking row on Saturday 30th August at 12pm Cairns time / 3am UK time.
The three Scots have travelled 9,000 miles to get to Australia, raising more than £700,000 for clean water projects in Madagascar in the process. They’ve received support from around the world, including from Mark Wahlberg, Ewan McGregor and Flea.
Arrival details (hopefully no longer subject to change):
📍 Cairns Marlin Marina
🕓 c. 12pm Cairns time / 3am UK time
Please contact [email protected] to:
- Confirm attendance at Cairns
- Arrange for live stream access
- Arrange for pics/video to be sent immediately post arrival
- Request a final interview with the brothers on the boat ahead of arrival
- Bid for remote or in-person interviews post-arrival
- Register interest for interviews / appearances in Sydney (c. 1 September) or the UK (c. 8 September)
A media release will be sent immediately post arrival with video and pics. I will be on the ground to co-ordinate opportunities.
Please feel free to phone / WhatsApp +44 781 332 0162 with any questions or to discuss further.
On behalf of the brothers, we’d like to thank you all for your patience, support and coverage.
Thanks,
Gregor
