She is indeed a badass.

But for the media, who did interviews with her via Starlink along the way, it was a "too easy" accomplishment.

The issue isn't about Kelsey breaking records, it is about how the media treats amazing people who become too accessible to them.

The drama of record-setting exploration like this ls being measured on the same scale as YouTubers thru-hiking after soliciting equipment sponsorships.

This is in a completely different category.

She needs a world where she can still read her own 'Top Ten List of Reasons Why Women Choose the Boat' on Letterman as she makes the global talk circuit and gets tired of the people who introduce her in France saying, "and, sacrebleu, are my arms tired!"

Having been a guide on 3 private trip on the Grand Canyon (plus many other river trips), I could see where the pro guides could use some help. Its a lot of really strenuous physical work to get downriver, setup camp, cook, clean and pack every day. Plus each trip is a long time to be away from family, even though you're around (often, very lazy) customers.

So ... logistical question ... does she (and others of her particular brand of crazy!) sleep at all? Doesn't the boat drift when the "motor" is off?

I mean, she must 'cause ... 43 days is a long time with no sleep. Curious how that works when you are unsupported.
