Russ Johnson bumped fists before heading out from the Hawaii Yacht Club on his diver sailing vessel called Blue Moon on Wednesday. Johnson and his crew were on an expedition to retrieve the 19.5-foot ocean rowing boat which three-time Paralympian Angela Madsen was manning in a solo rowing attempt from California to Hawaii. Madsen’s body was found out at sea on June 22 by the U.S. Coast Guard after her last known contact on June 20. She had departed from Marina del Rey on April 24 for her journey and was projected to arrive in Hawaii late July.
