I noticed that she came Japan by bike from Britain and said she took rest during winter last year in Japan. What a wonderful lady!!! Great!!! Unbelievable!!! Strong both physical and mental!! Great spirit!!!

Not if contact means touch. No exaggeration at all.

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?

That's some serious rowing. I bet she's got back muscles like a gorilla.

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

Quite a large boat, wouldn't be easy, great stuff!
How do you right a boat in the middle of the ocean by yourself?

Wow, this is not easy to do. I bet her hands are filled with blisters.
