She’s only 22, but on June 2nd, Eliza Dawson and three other rowers from around the world will depart Monterrey, California in a specially-built 24-foot rowing vessel, in an attempt to set a women’s world record for rowing from California to Hawaii.

Along the way, they’ll traverse a portion of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, estimated to be twice the size of Texas.

Bruce Morser, also a member with Jeff of the Vashon Island Rowing Club, joins Jeff & Cindy to talk to Eliza about her upcoming adventure.
