Hi, my name is Roz Savage and I row across oceans. 大家好，我是罗兹·萨维奇，我划船穿越大洋。 Four years ago, I rowed solo across the Atlantic, and since then, 四年前，我曾独自划船横渡了大西洋，之后， I've done two out of three stages across the Pacific, from San Francisco to Hawaii and from Hawaii to Kiribati. 我又完成了跨越太平洋的两个阶段，从旧金山到夏威夷，以及从夏威...
