Kelsey Pfendler on Friday completed a 2,400-mile solo trip in a rowboat from Monterey, California, to Ala Wai Boat Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

She was greeted by hundreds of cheering fans when she arrived after 9 p.m. in her 21-foot modern rowboat, Lily, Hawaii News Now reported. 

Pfendler, a professional raft guide, left Monterey on May 21, documenting her journey on social media. Completing the trip in 43 days, she shattered men's and women's records. 

Her videos, which she broadcast from her boat, showed how she met challenges along the way, which included maintaining her course against currents and wind, calloused hands, sun protection, clothes washing, cleaning barnacles off the hull and removing the flying fish that jumped into her boat at night. 

She desalinated the water she used for bathing, washing clothes and drinking, and she ate only what she'd taken with her from California. She had no support along the way, other than communications about the weather and currents.
