DTSTAMP:20260430T144232Z
DTSTART:20260522T125000Z
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nSeas the Day spent 165 days at sea\, setting off 
	from Peru\, South America\, in May 2025. Rowing up to 15 hours a day\, the
	y travelled west across 8\,213 nautical miles to Cairns\, Australia. On Sa
	turday\, October 18th\, 2025\, Miriam Payne and Jess Rowe became the first
	 all-female team to row the Pacific Ocean mainland to mainland\, non-stop 
	and unsupported. \n  \nEmbracing the challenges of the high seas\, the duo
	 used this opportunity to empower especially young women\, break several w
	orld records\, and raise nearly £120\,000 for The Outward Bound Trust\, a 
	UK charity that helps children develop lifelong skills through adventure. 
	\n  \nThe tale of their Great Escapade is one of two halves. It highlights
	 the challenges faced when their rudder broke just seven days and 350 mile
	s into their first attempt\, forcing them to return to land and plan their
	 re-start. On their second attempt\, it acknowledges the sheer grit and de
	termination given to keep spirits high when battling driving rain and wind
	\, 30ft waves\, sleep deprivation and losing an oar to the ocean. And\, it
	 details some of the more technical issues with their power system and eme
	rgency hand pump watermaker’s failure and focuses on how resilience and a 
	positive mental mindset to manage these issues.\n \nSeas the Day’s story i
	s a testament to the power of a positive mindset and the sheer drive to co
	ntinue going forward. The duo will inspire audiences to embrace their own 
	personal challenges and discover the limitless possibilities that lie beyo
	nd their own comfort zones.\n--------------------------------\n\nSpeaker:\
