This Immaculately Restored 1949 Bedford Housebus Is Part Of New Zealand's History...

Sonya Baumstein from Florida had to send out a distress call on June 13 and was rescued just a week after leaving a marina in Chosi, Japan,  attempting to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific.
She was trying to cross the 6,000k to San Francisco by September.
