A four-person rowing team led by a former Maui firefighter has reached the halfway point of their 50-70 day, human-powered journey from Washington to Maui. The crew is raising funds for a nonprofit that helps first responders and fathers dealing with trauma.
- The crew has rowed over 1,300 miles in one month with no engines or sails, using only human power.
- Former Maui firefighter Joshua Dukes leads the expedition to raise money for Aerial Recovery, a veteran and first responder support nonprofit.
- The team faced weeks of storms, seasickness, and challenging weather conditions in the first half of their journey.
- They have raised more than $13,000 through GoFundMe to support their mission of helping people with trauma.
- The crew is now entering warmer waters with favorable trade wind currents for the second half of their trek.
