By Sam Webb PUBLISHED: 21:57 EST, 24 September 2013 | UPDATED: 04:11 EST, 25 September 2013 Overcoming sharks, violent storms and frightening hallucinations, a British adventurer has become the first woman to row solo across the North Pacific Ocean. Sarah Outen, 28, arrived in Adak in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska on Monday after rowing 3,750 miles in her boat Happy Socks and, incredibly, proposed to her girlfriend Lucy from the middle of the sea using a satellite phone. Miss Outen, from Rutland, believes she is the first person to complete the voyage and celebrated with a bottle of champagne, greeting community members and supporters - her first human contact in nearly five months.
