Can she beat the pacific?: In 2005 Roz Savage became the first solo woman to compete in the Atlantic Rowing Race. She started from the Canary islands to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. She did all of this alone and unsupported. She finally arrived in Antigua on 13th March 2006, 103 days later. Now she is set to launch on Sunday from northern California on her quest to row across the Pacific, Solo.
If she tracks a bit further south when she gets to Australia (Cape Byron - the most easterly point) then I'll go down to the beach and welcome her with a cold beer.
