　　Debra Veal is a very brave(勇敢的) woman. She took part in a race to row(划船) across the Atlantic(大西洋), a journey for about 3,360 kilometers. She was in one of the 36 small rowing boats that set off on October 7th, 2001 from Tenerife. Each small boat was the same with food for the journey. She arrived in Barbados on January 26th, 2002 after rowing across the Atlantic for three-and-a-half months.

　　Debra began the journey with her husband in a small boat called Troika Transatlantic. But after 14 days he became very afraid, so he was taken off the small rowing boat. This did not make Debra give up. For the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat against the waves and the wind.

　　When she at last arrived at the end of her journey, she was reluctant(不情愿的) to leave her boat though her husband and family were there to welcome her. The boat had carried her safely to the end of the journey. She said, “I just want to toast(给……敬酒) this lady, this very special lady. I am full of sadness that I will have to leave her. She has protected me through many storms.”
