Roz Savage is a captivating speaker: animated, articulate and knowledgeable. She makes her daring voyage, and the decisions and planning that lead up to becoming the first woman to row across the Atlantic alone, come alive for her listeners. We immediately bought copies of her CD to send to all the young women in our life.
