Roz Savage Complete Indian Ocean Row

By David Rutter

Roz Savage has become the first woman to row across the “Big Three” oceans – the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian.

On the 4th of October she made landfall in Grand Baie, Mauritius, to complete a five month row across the Indian Ocean after setting out from Fremantle, Australia on the 14th of April 2011.

After rowing 15,000 miles, taking over 5 million oar strokes, and spending over 500 days at sea, Roz has achieved her goal of not only crossing the oceans, but raising awareness of the world’s environmental issues.
