“I didn't leave the dock thinking I'd break a record. I left thinking I'd see what I was capable of in a tiny boat on my own. Breaking the female solo race record by 15 days wasn't just about speed. It was about every hour I spent preparing, every decision I made at sea, every moment I had to dig deeper than I knew I could. Just 36 hours before finishing, I capsized. A full 360-degree roll. But you don't get the choice to stop. You just keep going.”
