A close encounter of the nautical kind
21-year-old Jasmine Harrison secured her place in the record books, becoming the youngest woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, completing the trip from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes.
Safely back on dry land, she told Sportshour’s Chris Latchem about a close encounter with a drilling ship, and how she ended up burning her hand at the end of her journey.
