Briton Jasmine Harrison, 21, has become the youngest female to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean after completing a 3,000-mile (4,800-kilometer) journey from Spain to Antigua, according to organizer Atlantic Campaigns.
Harrison completed the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge on Saturday in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes -- a new world record for the youngest female to row solo across any ocean, Atlantic Campaigns said.
Along the way, she had a "close to collision with a drilling deliver, capsizes, masses of peanut butter and Nutella consumed," Harrison said on Twitter.
Harrison, from the landlocked city of Thirsk in North Yorkshire, England, wrote on her internet site that she was inspired to take part within the venture when she saw the 2018 race finish while coaching swimming within the Caribbean.
"It wasn't just looking and conserving the flares at Nelson's Dockyard for a race end that inspired me, it was also talking to a family member of a lad that had just completed who informed me simply how lots of an brilliant thing it changed into. I didn't say 'no longer a chance I might do this,' it became more a fact of why no longer do it?" she wrote.
She says she hopes "to carry proposal to young people that it's miles k to move at things on my own," in keeping with her Facebook web page.
