Jasmine Harrison: She’s 21 and just became the youngest female to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean

Good News Notes:

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 ‘near collision with a drilling ship, two capsizes, lots of peanut butter and Nutella consumed,’ Harrison said on Twitter.”
