Roz Savage Is Rowing Solo Across The Pacific Ocean

Roz Savage not only has the best name in the world. This 33-year-old chickadee is also a bad-ass rower. After being bored to tears at an office job, she decided to leave it all behind in 2000, and head out on a mission to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Now that she’s completed that, she is on a voyage to become the first woman to cross the Pacific Ocean solo. She’s been on her journey for 99 days now, and is writing blog posts as she makes pit stops at RozSavage.com. (That’s her passing Diamond Head in Honolulu, Hawaii, above.) Other than that, it’s just her, the seagulls, and her oars.

Roz’s mission has got me thinking—if you left your job and, uh, money weren’t an issue, what would you do? I think I’d start a gourmet ice cream cart in Central Park.
