Three brothers from Edinburgh have claimed a new record for rowing non-stop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean after almost 140 days at sea.
Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan MacLean endured violent tropical storms, which forced them into making lengthy detours on their 9,000-mile (14,484km) journey from Peru to Australia.
During one storm, Lachlan was swept overboard by a large wave before being pulled back into the boat.
The brothers, who have been reunited with their family and friends in Cairns, in eastern Australia, said they were looking forward to pizza - and a decent night's sleep.
Ewan told BBC Breakfast: It's still slightly surreal - it's going to take a wee while for our feet to touch the ground, but what an amazing reception we've had in Cairns.\
Jamie said the crossing had been physically and mentally relentless, but added: Together we form a pretty good team, and together we've overcome this massive challenge.
The Scottish trio have beaten the previous record of 162 days for the fastest full, unassisted, non-stop Pacific row, set by Russian solo rower Fyodor Konyukhov in 2014.
Morale was a key concern, with sleep deprivation being one of the biggest challenges faced. They managed to complete their row unsupported without landing on islands for resupply or accepting help from passing boats.
Despite the numerous challenges, their primary motivation was fundraising, and Lachlan expressed gratitude for the support received from their sponsors and donors.
