Wow!!!That is pretty inspiring. Do you stock your rowboat with enough "stuff" or do you have drops off? I am thinking of it like a long distance trek but much much much longer.

Her plan was to row 12 hours out of every 24, and apparently did so for 60 days. That's a hell of a load on a 60 year old body, regardless of being in good shape.
Nothing I have found states how she died. I wonder if she was tethered but in the water for the anchor repair. .
