“We’re hoping the team will land late morning, lunchtime (local Hawaii time) tomorrow!” the family posted on their social media account Saturday. “Get ready for tears!”

The pair are completing the journey to raise awareness for veterans’ mental health issues, their website states. They’ve also hoping to set a world record for the fastest row across the Mid-Pacific route by a father and son team.

“Our aim [is] to use this Pacific row to launch a greater initiative, ‘Row to Recovery,’ an initiative that will inspire and empower people to support those veterans that need help in conquering their own personal Kraken,” the website reads. “To bolster this mission, the team has partnered with organizations that align with that mission and throughout the campaign, the team will raise funds and awareness to benefit our charitable partners. All profits will support organizations to advance this mission.”

KRON4 will update this story when the Crocketts reach their destination.
