The story of a solo journey across the Atlantic.
“In case you have formed the impression that I am some kind of athlete, adventurer, or adrenaline junkie I should make clear at the outset my near total lack of qualifi-cations for this un-dertaking,” writes Roz Savage, 41, in her memoir, Rowing the Atlantic (Simon & Schuster). Savage chronicles her 103-day journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua as the sole female entrant in the2005 Atlantic Rowing Race. Just divorced,she has much to reflect on as she paddles forth. After suffering through stockpiles of freeze-dried food, unbearable boils and oar-splitting storms, she finally finds her sea legs."
