Briton Back On Land After Record Pacific Voyage

A British adventurer has become the first person to row solo and non-stop across the Pacific Ocean from mainland North America to mainland Australia. Mr Beeden, who has already made the shorter journey across the Atlantic, told Sky News he spent an arduous 209 days at sea, rowing some 15 hours a day. "To be the first person to achieve something on this scale is incredible really, and I can't ... I haven't processed it yet," Mr Beeden told reporters after landing back on dry land.
