Portrait of paddler Ed Gillet in La Jolla, Calif. Ed Gillet is the only person who successfully kayaked the distance from Monterey, CA to Maui, HI. Gillet, who in 1987 set off on a solo, self-supported kayak expedition from Monterey used a stock Necky Tofino kayak loaded with 600 pounds of food and gear. Gillet self-propelled his boat using only a sextant to navigate the 2,200 mile journey across the Pacific. Amazingly, 64 days later, he arrived safely and lived to tell of his incredible feat.
