On 20 February 2021,Jasmine Harrison,who's from England,without lots of experience
in rowing long distances,became the youngest woman to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean.It
took her 70 days,3 hours and 48 minutes to reach the end of the journey.
Every year,rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands and
row about 3,000 miles across the Atlantic.Some do the rowing in teams of two,three,or
four.Others,like Ms Harrison,row by themselves.Every day,Harrison would row for about 12
hours,pushing her 550 pound boat across the ocean On her journey,Ms Harrison said she
survived just on cookies and chocolate.When asked what she was looking forward to the
most,she said,"Food Definitely food"
Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with her family and friends every
day But the joumey still left her with a lot of time all by herself,which she said she enjoyed But
things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her
music.
She had other company along the way.She saw several whales.For several days,she was
followed by a small group of dolphins."It's just amazing,"she said But there was danger,
too.Twice,her boat turned over in the night by large waves,and she hurt her arm quite
badly.Another time,she nearly ran into a ship.Somehow,she kept going.Finally,she was taking
her first steps on land in over two months.
Ms Harrison's trip didn't just set a record,it also raised over f18,500 for two charities:Blue
Marine Foundation,which works to control overfishing,and ShelterBox,which helps people
who have suffered from natural disasters.
