California Teen on a Mission to Make Record-Breaking Swim in the Kaiwi Channel

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.
