导读:年轻的美国女运动员Baumstein计划独自划船横渡太平洋,从而成为第一位独自划船横渡太平洋的女性。
Baumstein is an athlete from Orlando, Florida. She waited for weeks to set out in her custom-designed rowboat from Choshi. It is a Japanese port east of Tokyo. She is headed for San Francisco. With a few last-minute adjust ments to her supplies and a brief call to her par- ents, she rowed out of the marina on June 7. She hopes to finish the 6,000-mile journey by late September. If she does, she would become the first woman to row alone across the Pacific.
