Inspiration Afloat: Join Adventurer Jess Rowe on a Journey of Resilience

On February 27, Pangbourne College will host an extraordinary event featuring record-breaking ocean rower Jess Rowe. This evening promises to be an inspiring experience, as Jess shares her remarkable tale of endurance, resilience, and teamwork from her historic non-stop, unsupported rowing of the Pacific Ocean.

An Inspirational Journey

Jess Rowe, along with her crewmate Miriam Payne, made headlines in 2025 by becoming the first all-female duo to complete a 165-day crossing, traversing over 8,000 nautical miles from Peru to Australia. Their journey was not only a feat of physical strength but also a testament to mental fortitude, showcasing the human spirit’s remarkable capacity to overcome adversity.

Insights into Resilience

The evening's talk will delve into the lessons learned during their adventure, including decision-making under pressure and the importance of teamwork. These insights are valuable for anyone interested in personal development and exploring the limits of human potential. Moreover, attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with Jess during a Q&A session, making for an interactive and enlightening experience.
