British woman gears up to row across Pacific.
Wow!
Briton Sarah Outen is no stranger to adventure, but when she rows out from a small port in Japan this week she will be on her own — all the way until she reaches Canada.
Outen’s solo voyage across the Pacific, in a rowboat packed with the latest gadgetry, is probably the most challenging leg in her ambitious project to circle the globe by boat and bike.
“The distance is really huge,” the 26-year-old adventurer, who became the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean in 2009.
Outen left Britain on April 1 last year on a 30-month expedition under the title London2London: Via the World, which saw her kayak to Europe, cycle across Eurasia then get back in her kayak to Japan.
