Supporting Seas the Day Ocean Rowing Team

They’ve done it! After 165 days at sea and over 8,000 nautical miles rowed, Miriam and Jess have landed in Cairns, Australia, after rowing through the Pacific Ocean completely unsupported.

Following Jess and Miriam on their upcoming expedition the Great Pacific Escapade

Secerna is pleased to announce their continued sponsorship of the Seas the Day Rowing Team, this time for their epic, 8,000-mile odyssey across the vast Pacific Ocean. Leaving from Peru, South America, in their boat ‘Velocity’, the team will face relentless winds, isolation, and gruelling physical demands as they row continuously for up to 6 months until they reach the shores of Australia.

Secerna's support for Seas the Day is a testament to their ongoing commitment to promoting exploration and perseverance. In 2023, the firm sponsored Miriam Payne's record-breaking solo row across the Atlantic in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Miriam's strength and determination resonated deeply with Secerna, particularly her focus on inspiring young people.

This new expedition sees Miriam joined by Jess Rowe, forming a formidable duo with a unique blend of experience and a shared passion for teamwork – values highly regarded at Secerna. Their mission to ignite a sense of adventure in young people further aligns with the firm's support for such endeavours.
