Japanese man,83, becomes oldest person to sail across Pacific Ocean solo-  Tokyo-Japanese Adventurer KenichiHorie, 83, just became the oldest person in the world to complete a solo, nonstop voyage across the Pacific Ocean-and he says he is still "in the middle of my youth "and not done yet. Horie arrived in the Kii Strait off Japan's western coast, completing his trans-pacific voyage in 69 days after leaving a yacht harbor in San Francisco in March.  It was the latest achievement for the octogenarian adventurer, who in 1962 became the first person to complete a solo nonstop voyage across the Pacific from Japan to San Francisco.                          Sixty years later, he traveled the oposite route. On Saturday, June 4, 2022, Japan's Kenichi Horie arrived in western Japan after his trans-pacific voyage from San Francisco.
