Maud's book sign
20:30 p.m. EST Apr 18, 2004
Yes ladies, this is how popular you get when you row across an ocean! Maud Fontenoy just had her book sign and she sure looked good, didn't she?
Many of our adventure male friends fell in love with this French girl already last year and now everyone else follows. Just look at their glances at her, they are after a lot more than a copy of her book.
Hey Maud, what's next? We miss you already!
French rower Maud Fontenoy set out from St. Pierre et Miquelon, Canada on June 13 in an attempt to become the first woman to row across the Atlantic West to East. Maud got a rough start with winds up to 35 knots and swell measuring 4 m throwing her out of course. Bad weather conditions made Maud's row difficult and strong winds kept pushing her backwards.
After a breathtaking voyage, where she was attacked by a shark, drank seawater when her watermakers failed and got caught in endless storms, on October 9 Maud set foot on Spanish turf after 117 days of rowing. Maud is now the first woman to row across the Atlantic ocean West to East. For her spirit, courage and brutally honest reports, Maud was selected "Expedition of the Year" by ExplorersWeb.
