CALIFORNIA (WCIV) — A 31-year-old rower is taking social media by storm after she set off on her trip to become the first American woman to row solo from California to Hawaii as well as set the record as the youngest and fastest woman to complete the challenge.

Kelsey Pfendler has been at sea in the pacific for almost two weeks after she departed from California on May 21 on her boat that has lovingly been named Lily.

In her journey she has been sharing updates on the epic undertaking through her social media channels. If she completes the trip she would become just the third woman to row to Hawaii unassisted.
