A San Francisco resident has been at sea for nearly three months as she attempts to row her way across the Pacific Ocean.
Lia Ditton, 40, a licensed captain and self-described “professional adventurer,” left San Francisco on June 17, embarking on a nearly 2,500-mile journey toward Hawaii in a 20-foot rowboat — alone and without a support crew.
She’s documented the journey on her website, where she describes encounters with sharks, dangerous weather, large waves and fears of her boat overturning.
Upon completion of the journey across the Pacific, Ditton is expected to break the women’s world record set by Roz Savage back in 2008, according to Hawaii News Now. She’s expected to arrive in Hawaii on Friday.
Ditton is originally from the United Kingdom. You can follow her voyage here.
