Meet the female rowers that are currently on track to break the world record for rowing from San Francisco to Honolulu.
By and large, the internet is not a happy place right now. But one corner of the world wide web where I’ve felt a genuine sense of hope over the past few weeks has been the Instagram accountwhich is documenting a team of four women who are attempting to break the world record for rowing from San Francisco to Honolulu. They’ve been at it for 34 days. If they make it before Tuesday, July 26 at 4:41 p.m.
It’s also fascinating to learn about what it takes to pull something like this off. The American Spirit is hard to capsize, and each of the women is strapped in at all times with a harness. For training, they practiced tying knots in ice water as a life preservation skill. They packed a million calories on the boat and mostly eat dehydrated meals that they boil on board. They launched at 7 a.m.
But the best part of following the Lat 35 journey is learning about the ways they entertain themselves and find levity in such physically and psychologically demanding conditions. Please watchof the team delivering DJ her lunch via “Uber Eats.” Adrienne radios DJ that her order has arrived, after which DJ opens the cabin door to accept; when asked if she has a tip, she just laughs and says “I have no money.”In the clip, you can also see the vast nothingness of the ocean around them.
