Kelsey Pfendler, a Grand Canyon river rafting guide, has completed a record-breaking solo journey from California to Hawaii, becoming the first American woman to achieve this feat. She arrived in Honolulu on Friday night after nearly a month and a half at sea in her 21-foot rowboat, Lily. Pfendler launched from Monterey, California, in May and aimed to set records as the youngest and fastest woman to make the over 2,400-mile journey solo, according to local media.
