ADVENTURE her way into the Guinness World Records by becoming the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean. The journey was, in part, inspired by the death of her father seven years ago and raised funds for a charity that helps those suffering with rheumatoid arthritis.
Her aim now is to use the latest expedition to raise £ 100,000 for a number of charitable organisations, including CoppaFeel!, the Jubilee Sailing Trust, the Motor Neurone Disease Association and WaterAid.
“ I am an ocean girl at heart”, she said before her departure.“ I love being so close to the water and living to the rhythms of the wild. The energy [ of the ocean ] is magic and the dynamics are so exciting.
“ There are no guarantees of success out there and it will take every ounce of physical and mental strength and a good dollop of luck to make it across safely”, she added.“ But I believe I have the best possible chance: physically and mentally I am strong and determined to give [ the expedition ] my best shot”.
