I'm Kelsey.
Who are you?
I’ve been a professional raft guide since I turned 18. I’ve spent the past eight years as a boatman in Grand Canyon guiding mulit-day trips on the Colorado river. I competed on the USA Women’s Open Raft Race Team and represented the USA in the World Rafting Championships in Bosnia in 2022.
Most of my life has been spent finding new ways to be on a boat in the middle of nowhere.
Since the completion of my first ocean row in 2024 I have completely fallen in love with ocean rowing.
Has Kelsey ever crossed an ocean before?
Yup. Twice.
By oar – Mid Pacific – 2024
