No one needs tell that to Roz Savage, who plans to embark upon an unprecendeted solo journey across the Pacific Ocean in a 24-foot rowboat named the Brocade. She is bidding to be the first woman to ever accomplish this feat.

Initially departing on the Pacific journey in early July, the challenge will be broken up into 3 stages, with Stage 1 taking Roz from San Francisco to Hawaii – rowing for 2,600 miles. The journey will mean several months rowing alone in the Pacific Ocean. Roz is passionate about the environment and the Pacific row is a project of the Blue Frontier Campaign, a non-profit organization that supports grassroots marine conservation efforts. Roz has also teamed up with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA).

On July 10 in San Francisco, Roz will be hosting a ceremonial launch and provide opening remarks about her journey across the Pacific.  It’s not the first time she’ll be taking to the high seas. Last year, Roz rowed across the Atlantic alone in her boat but the journey was part of a larger fleet. While that was still an amazing accomplishment, this time, Roz is taking on the Pacific all on her own, completely alone, bidding to be the first woman to do so. She won’t even have a safety boat trailing her, with her only method of communication a satellite phone.
