Leanna at "Can we have a new Witch, ours melted" posted a fantastic entry this morning about Kelsey Pfendler, currently rowing from California to Hawaii!
Just an incredible expedition across the Pacific ocean amid the currents, weather and birds!
"...She is currently rowing all by herself with no help from anyone going
from Monterey California to Oahu Hawaii. That's 2400 miles - alone!
She cannot have outside help from boats, or Coast Guard choppers unless
she loses her boat. So if she runs out of food or loses an oar, she will
have to figure her way out of it. She is on a solo row and she's
breaking records all over the place. First youngest female to row to
Hawaii. Fastest row by one person ever. First single American rower.
First fastest female rower, and the list goes on."
Kelsey is doing this predominantly to prove she can (and she is!), and for the Whale Foundation charity.
An awesome and intriguing story that will certainly be our good news for the summer!
Thank you, Leanna! Link in the opening sentence!
