Fewer women have
rowed the Indian Ocean
than men have walked
the surface of the moon.
THE FACTS
More people have been
to space (566 people).

More people have climbed
Mount Everest (6,338 people).
So far, 36 teams have
attempted to row the
Indian Ocean.
Only 15 of these have
been successful.
To date, 44 rowers have
completed the row from Australia
to Mauritius.
Only 10 of these were women.

The Indian Ocean is the hardest
ocean of them all.

OUR EXPEDITION TEAM
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO ROW AN OCEAN?
-
WILLPOWER
We row 2 hours on, 2 hours off. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Eat. Sleep. Row. Repeat.
-
FORWARD PLANNING
Everything we need must be packed and on board: including all food, medical supplies, water purifiers, solar panels, in addition to all boat maintenance and repair equipment.
-
NAVIGATION SKILLS
Staying on course is key, particularly when heading to a tiny island!
-
GRIT
We endure salt sores, blisters, heat exhaustion, muscle fatigue, dehydration, hallucinations and extreme sleep deprivation.
-
DISCIPLINE
4500 calories per day puts enough fuel in the tank.
-
MENTAL FORTITUDE
Oceans are a vast expanse and feelings of isolation can be daunting.
-
ENDURANCE
Potential threats can include container collisions, extreme weather conditions, complications from marine life and other traffic, in addition to the inevitability of crew sickness and injuries.




THE
PURPOSE
We’re rowing the Indian Ocean to raise awareness for The Sheroes Foundation, a Social Impact Charity set to create more inspiring and relatable female role models for one and all.
We share the belief that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
THE
MISSION
We are a passionate and ambitious team of women who have rowed oceans to prove that you don’t have to be a superhuman or a professional athlete to break boundaries.
We want to drive change through the power of storytelling and the strength of community spirit.
THE
DREAM
We want to change the way people perceive their own potential and inspire them to push it to the next level.
With a positive mindset and community support, anyone can be a Hero.
