Back by salty demand! In this Just Wondering follow-up episode, Norm Hitzges reconnects with everyone's favorite Scottish sea warriors—the McLean Brothers—as they continue their 9,000-mile rowing odyssey from Lima, Peru to Sydney, Australia. Still afloat (barely), still hilarious (always), and still rowing for a million-pound mission to provide clean water in Madagascar.

In Part 2, things get even wilder:

We’re talking freeze-dried feasts, rogue waves, whales, fishing mishaps (what do you do with 40 kilos of fish?), and the high-tech savior of the sea—the Starlink Mini. Jamie, Lachlan, and Ewan open up about near-death experiences, maritime mysteries, sibling chaos, and… yes, the harsh realities of the bucket toilet.

🌊 Come for the adrenaline, stay for the brotherly banter and heroic cause. This is human-powered storytelling at its finest.
