Rowing an ocean - is hard, smelly - not always fun.

All the more amazing that she is doing it and is still able to manage ironic humor about it, as well as wonder.

clipped from rowforwater.com Day 27 — The good, the bad, and the ugly rowing an ocean. This is not just about easy, breezy days in the sun, gracefully cruising along the ocean Think of your worst hair day, multiply that by ten, and expect to see that in the mirror every morning Medical tape will become your new best friend as you play doctor and tape yourself back together every night Winds may push you eastward, meaning those hard earned miles are now lost And then, there is that one blister that seems to always want to remind you that its there But I don’t need anyone to read this and come away feeling sorry for me – pity isn’t welcome here. For where there is a will, there is a way and I have been able to work with these opportunities to practice patience. I honestly would not trade this experience for the world and feel so lucky to be here, bad hair days and all.
