37 hours? Damn!

She must've been exhausted.

37 hours in among the waves and half of that under the sun while the other half is in darkness, probably awake all that time?

She must be both physically and mentally scarred for life.

I was thinking about how many hours it might take me to cry. And then I thought I'd prolly cry a few times. Also I have pretty severe thalassophobia so maybe I'd have a panic attack. Depends on if I could see shore or not.

But also this would never happen to me.

At 50 miles... Most of that time is not seeing the shore.

Article said she was still exhausted. 37 hours in the water dealing with 6.5ft tall waves... with only a swimming ring.

She was swimming the whole time in circles!? She must be ripped
