Rower on her way to crossing Pacific alone

A British environmentalist rowed through the night until she arrived in Honolulu early Monday, completing the initial leg of her journey as she tries to become the first woman to row alone across the Pacific Ocean.

Roz Savage, 40, had spent 99 days on the ocean since she departed from San Francisco on May 25 on the 4,670-km leg to Hawaii.
