Terra Firma. John Beeden has successfully completed the 6,100-nautical mile (11,297 kilometers) non-stop solo row across the Pacific between the United States and Australia.

After 209 days at sea, the British rower can finally rest. John Beeden, 53, kicked off his journey in San Francisco on June 1st, 2015, and concluded the intense sailing marathon in Cairns, on the 27th December.

"To be the first person to achieve something on this scale is incredible. I haven't processed it yet. I thought I was going to be here mid-October, and it was going to be hard work but just like the Atlantic – it wasn't going to try to kill me, but it tried a few times," explained Beeden.
