Day 79: All In The Mind
“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven.” (John Milton)
A lot of people were mystified why, having survived but not enjoyed one ocean crossing, I would want to do another.

Starts the 79th day of Roz Savage’s attempt to become the first woman to row across the Pacific. This is the first of three stages that will last three years and finish in Australia. She’s already rowed across the Atlantic and is currently between San Francisco and Hawaii. She is rowing by herself with no actual chase boat, but there is a distant boat that is going to meet up with her for supplies. She has a ton of technology onboard and connects via satellite to update her site and her blog and has an interview with Leo Laporte every week via satellite phone.

She updates her site with pictures, video and podcasts at Roz Savage.com Leo’s interviews at twit.tv and follow her progress at twitter.com/rozsavage as she attempts to become the first woman to row across the Pacific.
