Maybe I’m a little dense but how does someone with no use of their arms or legs “row” anything? With her teeth? How did anyone believe it was a good idea to try to “row” from L.A. to Honolulu? If she rows 12 hours and rest 12 hours, doesn’t that mean she’s drifting back towards California (or Mexico) the 12 hours she’s resting? This whole idea just doesn’t compute for me. This would be like Diana Nyad crossing the English Channel but giving back 2/3rds of her effort before reaching shore.
I mean, sad for her that she died but didn’t anyone say “maybe you haven’t thought this through”?
She was a partial paraplegic. Not a quad
