A Japanese adventurer has completed a three-month journey from Hawaii to Japan in a boat powered by the energy of ocean waves.

The 4,800-mile voyage, which began in Honolulu in March, ended when Kenichi Horie’s three-ton yacht docked in Wakayama in western Japan last night.

"The sea was so calm, and the weather was so great throughout my journey. That’s why it took me so long," he said.
