At 83, Japanese adventurer Kenichi Horie, just became the oldest person in the world to complete a solo, nonstop voyage across the Pacific Ocean — and he says he is not done yet.
Japanese Kenichi Horie gets celebrated at a yacht harbor in Nishinomiya, western Japan, Sunday, June 5, 2022, after he completed his solo nonstop voyage across the Pacific Saturday. Horie’s return to Japan, after leaving San Francisco in March, made him the world’s oldest person to complete a solo, nonstop crossing of the Pacific, according to his sponsors.
On Sunday, after spending the night on his 19-foot-long, 990-kilogram Suntory Mermaid III just off the coast, Horie was towed into his home port of Shin Nishinomiya yacht harbor, where he was cheered by local residents and supporters, some holding banners that read: “Welcome back, Mr. Kenichi Horie!”
