She departed SF in June and after several almost fatal capsizes, she has finally arrived in Honolulu. This is an amazing accomplishment. Some may ask Why? Why put your life in danger for such a self indulgent act? As a mater of fact, another rower died trying the same thing during her voyage. Humans are born to experience hardship and isolation. We have an unbelievable tolerance to endure. I was just reading about 3 boys who tried to escape boring island life so they stole a boat and were found drifting and barely alive after 51 days at sea. Wow! Check out Lia's site for more updates. Currently, she is asleep at a luxury beach front hotel. After 86 days at sea, they did not require her to go in quarantine.
