and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife
Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food
for the journey. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a
journey of about 3,360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days he became very afraid
of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat. This did not make
Gloria give up. Instead, she decided that she would continue by herself. So, for the next hundred days, she
rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and
family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to
carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very
special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic.
Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things. But a brave person is not always brave,
"Sometimes I wanted more than anything to be warm and dry in bed and safe from the storm around me.
I wanted to stop being brave," she said.

Reporter: What gave you the idea to make a trip around India on an elephant, Chris?
Chris: Well, it all started the idea two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photo exhibition
of elephants and I realized that the only enjoyable way to make a trip around India was on an elephant.
Reporter: What did you do next?
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people.
I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert (专家) for help. He taught me how to ride an
elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?
Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey?
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were going to Sonepur in northern India. There is
a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles
an hour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey?
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. Btu that got better quickly. Also,
there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur?
Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But I was very fond of her. I couldn't take her back to Britain and I didn't
want to sell her at the market. I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park
in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say
goodbye.
