With nothing but her small boat for company (作伴), a British lawyer (律师), Victoria Evans, fought a high winds and big waves at sea. She s rowed across the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋) alone. Her adventure (冒险) has set a new world record!
Victoria had never rowed before she took on this challenge (挑战). Three years ago, she had the idea to encourage (鼓励) more females to become a in sports. After that, she started to practise rowing more than ten hours a day. She then continued to p for sailing on the ocean.
The 35-year-old started her race from a Spanish island on February 11. D the trip, high winds made rowing very difficult. At one point, a wave locked the cabin (door from the inside). It took Victoria three hours to open the lock with a knife. Still, she got over all these difficulties. This b woman completed more than 4,700 kilometers of rowing in 40 days and 19 hours.
Victoria's adventure r 24,000 pounds for a charity called Women in Sport. This charity works to give every female the c to take part in sports.
"Actions speak l than words," the lawyer said in a later i, "I wants to use this experience to show people one thing: You are able to do anything you set your mind to!"
