If you haven't heard about Roz before, she is a remarkable lady who one day decided to give up the life of a management consultant and row across oceans. What's more, it is her birthday today - Happy Birthday Roz!
This year, she became the first woman to row solo across the Pacific Ocean, a feat to build on her previous conquering of the Atlantic in 2005. To date she has rowed more than 11,000 miles and cumulatively spent almost a year of her life at sea.
Her slogan, "Rowing towards a greener future," sums up her eco ethos, and she has also been named a United Nations Climate Hero.
In 2011 she plans to row from Freemantle to Mumbai, and after that, she will brave the ocean crossing from New Jersey to London in 2012.
