4 women rowing the Pacific Ocean, completely unassisted, will be taking on the World’s Toughest Row, navigating 2800 miles from Monterey, California to Kauai, Hawaii. Hannah Byrd, one of the rowers, and her teammates will take off this summer on June 12th and expect to reach their destination in Hawaii in mid July. Fierce competition, dangerous situations, and a harsh sleep schedule lie ahead for Byrd as she and her team hope to defeat the current world record.
