She made another attempt on 25 May 2008 launching from Sausalito, California and arrived in Hawaii on 1 September 2008, becoming the first woman to row solo from California to Hawaii. She completed the crossing from San Francisco to Waikiki in a time of 99 days 8 hours and 55 minutes. The total distance covered was and took approximately one million oar strokes.

They were running low on food as their voyage was taking longer than expected, and she was able to donate them some of her surplus.
