Every year, rowers (take) part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands in December and row roughly 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Some handle the rowing in teams of two, three, or four. Others, like Jasmine Harrison, row all by (they).
It wasn't easy. Every day, Jasmine would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound boat across the ocean. She had a satellite phone allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. But things got a bit (hard) after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music. There was danger, too. Twice, her boat (turn) over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her elbow quite (bad). Another time, she nearly ran into a ship.
Somehow, she kept going. On February 20, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached the island of Antigua-the end of the journey. When (ask) what she was most looking forward to, she said, "Food. Definitely food." She celebrated her (arrive) with a hamburger and fries.
Jasmine's rowing effort (make) her the youngest woman ever to row across the Atlantic — or any ocean. But Ms. Harrison's trip didn't just set record, it also raised over £18,500 for two charities.
