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.
