After 160 days and more than 8,000 nautical miles of hard rowing, Jess and Mims are threading their way toward the finish line. Life onboard is a steady grind: salt sores, capricious weather, gear failures, and the ever-present freeze-dried meals. But in their latest update, they share raw reflections, close calls, and renewed determination as they count down the final miles to reaching Australia.

After 140 days at sea and more than 7,000 nautical miles rowed, Jess and Mims are edging closer to their finish line. Life onboard is a mix of squalls, salt sores, power failures and freeze-dried meals. In the midst of the row–sleep–eat–repeat routine came an unexpected gift from Mother Nature: a 40 kg tuna. A huge morale boost they ate sashimi and ceviche for two days, leaving them full, revived and ready for the final stretch.

After 120 days at sea and over 6,000 nautical miles behind them, the Seas the Day team are finally seeing fierce winds and massive swells forecasted…everything has changed. From serenity to squalls, from tranquil sunsets to saturated nights, their spirits remain high despite salt sores, buckets and dreams what food they would eat when back on dry land.
