Slam… Slam… Slam…
They say ten-foot waves are manageable… if they don’t hit too fast. But they’re every 8 seconds. I check the weather constantly. My daughter (26) and three female teammates are rowing from California to Hawaii.
“Breathe,” I tell myself. “She’s living her dream. It’s her choice.”
If the boat gets overturned, it’s supposed to right itself. But will it? They re-balance the load to rock, not roll.
The boat stays up. Their rights get overturned.
They say the hardest thing is the nausea, but they don’t let it stop them. This is their mantra:
“Puke and Rally.”
Ouf. I felt this on a deep level. Thank you for writing and sharing this!!
