About this listen

Meg joins the Coxless Crew for the final relay across the Pacific, stepping onto Doris with little rowing experience to help complete a 9,000-mile, record-seeking voyage. We hear about the two-hour row/sleep routine, storms, sharks, the challenges of hygiene and food, and how music and a psychologist helped them cope. Meg shares the emotional highs — 360° horizons, nightly sunsets and wildlife — and practical lessons she still uses: chunk big goals, choose your attitude, and control the controllable. She also reflects on reintegration into land life and parallels between ocean rowing and motherhood.
