When most teenagers are planning summer vacations, Harrison Crockett was rowing across the Pacific Ocean with his 53-year-old father, Tim. The father-son duo just completed an extraordinary 48-day journey from San Francisco to Hilo, Hawaii, making maritime history in the process.

Traveling aboard their boat named “The Kraken”, Tim and Harrison rowed an incredible 2,400 nautical miles, alternating 12-hour rowing shifts and facing extraordinary challenges. From battling massive waves to navigating around potential marine threats like sharks and whales, their journey was anything but ordinary.

What makes their achievement even more remarkable is Harrison’s age - at just 18, he became the youngest person to row the mid-Pacific route. Tim, a UK Special Forces veteran, partnered with his son not just for adventure, but with a meaningful purpose: raising awareness and funds for veterans struggling with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries through their “Row to Recovery” program.

The journey wasn’t just physically demanding but mentally challenging. The pair endured blisters, salt sores, and had to perform unexpected boat repairs while maintaining their grueling rowing schedule. Their commitment to their cause and each other’s support kept them going through seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

While the Ocean Rowing Society still needs to officially verify their record, the Crocketts have already inspired countless individuals with their incredible feat of endurance, teamwork, and determination. Their story is a powerful reminder that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing extraordinary goals.

For veterans and adventure enthusiasts alike, Tim and Harrison Crockett have set a new standard of what’s possible when passion, preparation, and purpose align.
