D'Errico also addressed the naysayers out there who have criticized her quest for the biblical boat. "It's more fulfilling a lifetime dream that I've had since I was a kid," she said. "I've just always wanted to climb Mount Ararat and search for Noah's Ark. I know everybody thinks it's funny and it's a big joke and people don't believe in it, but I do."
