Youngest person to row the Pacific east to west solo

Peter Bird (UK, b. 19 February 1947) was the youngest person to row East-West across the Pacific in his boat, Hele-on-Britannia, leaving San Francisco, USA on 23 August 1982 and arriving in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia on 14 June 1983 at the age of 36 years, 114 days. In doing so, Peter became the first to row the Pacific solo. NB this was not 'unsupported' as he was re-supplied enroute.

Sadly, Peter later died in June 1996 trying to row West to East across the Pacific.
