John Beeden sets non-stop solo Pacific row record


John Beeden, 53, set off from San Francisco on 1 June and rowed for an average of 15 hours a day.
He had hoped to reach Cairns in north-east Australia weeks ago, but was slowed down by bad weather.
Mr Beeden, who rowed across the Atlantic four years ago, said there were times when he didn't think he could go on.
"To be the first person to achieve something on this scale is incredible really, and I haven't processed it yet," added Mr Beeden, who is originally from the northern English city of Sheffield but now lives in Canada.
