Because she wanted to survive .None of the above choices .Because she was out in a small boat .Because she was n't able to explain what happened to her .
Why did the girl swim to the shore ?
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her . One afternoon she set ou from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm . Towards evening the boat struck the rock and she jumped into the sea . Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water .
