英国人 Jasmine Harrison, 21, 在完成3,000英里的飞行之后，已成为横跨大西洋划船的最年轻的女性 (4,800-公里) 从西班牙到安提瓜的旅程, according to organizer Atlantic Campaigns.
Harrison completed the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge on Saturday in 70 天, 3 hours and 48 分钟 — a new world record for the youngest female to row solo across any ocean, Atlantic Campaigns said.
一路上, she had a “near collision with a drilling ship, two capsizes, lots of peanut butter and Nutella consumed,” Harrison said on 推特.
Harrison, from the landlocked town of Thirsk in North Yorkshire, 英国, 写 on her website that she was inspired to take part in the challenge when she saw the 2018 race finish while teaching swimming in the Caribbean.
“It wasn’t just watching and holding the flares at Nelson’s Dockyard for a race finish that inspired me, it was also talking to a family member of a lad that had just completed who told me just how much of an amazing thing it was. I didn’t say ‘not a chance I would do that,’ it was more a fact of why not do it?” 她写了.
