Two best friends now hold multiple world records after enduring 37 grueling days out on the Pacific Ocean — attempting to row from California to Hawaii. Here's their story.
A pair of women broke the world record for the fastest row across the Pacific Ocean — by nine days. Jessica Oliver, 32, and Charlotte Harris, 33, set out to compete in the World’s Toughest Row Pacific Challenge on June 8, 2024, from Monterey, California, with the goal of rowing 2,800 miles to Kauai, Hawaii.

The Atlantic? We could do it again?’' Oliver and Harris ultimately signed up to row the World’s Toughest Row Pacific Ocean Challenge and trained five to six days a week for two years leading up to the race.
