British adventurer Sarah Outen celebrates with champagne after arriving at Adek, Alaska, on Monday. Outen, 28, became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, arriving at the small town in the Aleutian Islands after 150 days and 3,750 miles at sea. She left Choshi, Japan, on April 27. She had initially wanted to row from Japan to Canada, but the punishing weather caused a course change to Alaska. It’s part of her plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell, kayak and bike.
