Roz Savage, the first woman to row across the Atlantic ocean two years ago, has recently finished her first leg across the Pacific after 99 days, 8 hours and 55 minutes. Back in May she left San Francisco and rowed beneath the Golden Gate bridge toward Hawaii. While she did this by herself she brought along thousands of podcast listeners and blog readers for the ride. 

Her ocean going row boat is outfitted with solar panels which powered a MacBook, a few iPods stock full of audio books, a CD player, a Meridian satellite phone and a Tomtom GPS.  Three times a week she called Leo Laporte of TWiT fame for a audio podcast via her satellite phone. And everyday she posted to her blog after rowing, on average, 11 hours per day. Roz also took advantage of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, SmugMug, LinkedIn, iTunes and Amazon where she has a wish list. 

She is a tough English woman and a real inspiration. Not matter what happened, including a broken water filter, she was always upbeat and optimistic. Her goal was not to set a record but to spread a environmental message about how humankind is polluting the Earth's oceans, especially with plastic. She will spend the time until the start of her second leg of her voyage speaking and fundraising.
