Unit 10B:​ Adventure

​Roz Savage hasn’t rowed in the Olympics and she hasn’t won any important races. But this British rower has done something unique in her sport. She has become the first woman to row alone across the world’s three biggest oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. It hasn’t been easy. During her 500 days and nights alone at sea, some important pieces of equipment have broken: her mobile, her water maker, her cooker, and four oars. She’s travelled through 7 m waves, and her boat has capsized a few times. Twice, people have rescued her and brought her back to safety. But all these problems haven’t stopped her. Roz has travelled 24,000 km in a 7m long rowing boat and survived.

Unit 10B:​ Adventure

She’s seen some amazing wildlife in the oceans. Lots of dolphins, whales and turtles have swum near her boat. There have also been some sharks, but luckily they haven’t attacked. In fact, the scariest animals are the Hying squid. They aren’t dangerous, but they jump out of the water, fly about 3 m above the sea, and land suddenly on the boat. Their black ink makes a terrible mess. Her journey has taken her through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This is an area of ocean bigger than France and Germany with a lot of plastic rubbish. It’s very dangerous for wildlife. But she has also been to nicer places, including the countries of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean and Papua New Guinea. Roz is now having a rest in Mauritius at the end of​ her amazing journey.
