A young girl from California hopes to become the youngest person to make the grueling 28 mile journey from Molokai to Oahu.
Covered in sunscreen, 15-year-old Maya Merhige set out Wednesday night just after 5:30 p.m. from Papohaku Beach.
Merhige is just 2 weeks younger than the current record holder Edie Markovich who completed the swim in 2021.
