Some unbelievable achievements! Respect!!

but first human contact in 5 months is exaggerating it a bit while she got engaged to her girlfriend or when her support team towed her to a safer spot, no?

To be accurate, she rowed from Japan to the waters just off of Adak, AK. Regardless, it's still an amazing feat.
