HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hundreds gathered along Magic Island and Ala Wai Boat Harbor Friday to watch solo rower Kelsey Pfendler complete her record-breaking journey from California to Hawaii.

She began the more than 2,400-mile journey from Monterey, California, to Honolulu on May 21.

Pfendler rowed into the harbor shortly after 9 p.m. aboard her 21-foot ocean rowing boat, Lily. She was greeted by a large, cheering crowd at the Hawaii Yacht Club.

Pfendler was on a mission to become the first, youngest and fastest woman to row solo from California to Hawaii.

She did it in 43 days, shattering the previous women’s record, 86 days, 10 hours and five minutes, held by Lia Ditton — but also broke through the men’s record of 52 days.
