Should I cry out in rage, should I scream at the sea
11:49 a.m. EDT Sep 24, 2003
The winds have once again changed direction and Maud is pushed back towards the west. She wonders if she'll ever reach the coast. It is frustrating to advance for three days - only to move back for the next two.
"What to make of this", Maud asks in her journal, "should I cry out in rage, would that counter the drift?"
After 100 days out at sea, she finds it hard not to dwell on others success stories - like the men who departed from St John (New Ground) and reached Ireland in only 60 days.
She wonders why the weather should be so difficult this year: "The ocean still wants to play, I guess."
In the mean her battle captures the world. Yesterday, this image of the French adventure girl out on the northern Atlantic was made by Captain Phil of the Amazon Queen in the jungles of the Amazon, and mailed to ExWeb's office in New York for today's update.
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.
