Roz Savage Biography

Roz Savage is one of the most popular and richest Ocean Rower who was born on December 23, 1967 in Cheshire, England, United Kingdom. Rosalind “Roz” Savage MBE, FRGS was born 23 December 1967. She is an English ocean rower and environmental advocate.

She announced shortly after her Atlantic crossing success that she would be rowing solo across the Pacific Ocean, from the US to Australia. Maud Fontenoy was the first woman to solo cross the Pacific Ocean in 2005. She used a different route. Savage completed 3 stages successfully, beginning in California in Summer 2008. She then crossed the Pacific from Hawaii to Tuvalu in 2009. Then she crossed to Papua New Guinea to complete her journey in 2010.

She began stage one on 12 August 2007 from Crescent City, California, and was rescued 10 days later approximately 90 miles offshore by the U.S. Coast Guard when a well-wisher called them out after becoming concerned when she mentioned heavy weather and a head injury in her blog. She was later able to recover her boat “Brocade”. She made another attempt on 25 May 2008 launching from Sausalito, California and arrived in Hawaii on 1 September 2008, becoming the first woman to row solo from California to Hawaii. She completed the crossing from San Francisco to Waikiki in a time of 99 days 8 hours and 55 minutes. The total distance covered was 2,598 nautical miles (4,811 km) and took approximately one million oar strokes. En route to Hawaii, Savage was given an essential resupply of water by the two man crew of the JUNK raft, also on a journey from California to Hawaii. They were running low on food as their voyage was taking longer than expected, and she was able to donate them some of her surplus.

Her story was filmed as A Little Silver Boat in a Big Silver Sea as part of the ITV1 documentary television series Is It Worth It?, first broadcast on Monday, 12 March 2007 in the UK.

She was made a Fellow in 2003 of the Royal Geographical Society. In an Anglo- American expedition, she discovered Inca ruins near Machu Picchu in the Andean cloudforests. After returning from Peru, she spent three more months there, traveling solo, and writing her first book Three Peaks in Peru.

She was 34 years old when she began her 11-year career as a manager consultant. She drew obituaries of the life she had lived and the one she wanted on a train ride that year. She was shocked at their disparity and decided to leave her husband, steady income, and large house in the suburbs.

On 14 March 2006 she completed the first leg by finishing the Atlantic Rowing Race as the only solo female competitor, taking 103 days to complete the crossing. This she did unsupported, despite breaking all four of her oars and having to row with patched-up oars for more than half the race. Her cooking stove failed after only 20 days, then her navigation equipment and music player. She managed to maintain her daily weblog right up until day 80 when her satellite phone failed, leaving only the movement detected by her positional transponder.

In March 2012, Savage announced that she would row that North Atlantic as part of the Olympic Atlantic Row (OAR) team with Andrew Morris. The goal was to row from St John’s in Canada to the UK, making landfall in Bristol and then rowing through the inland waterways to London, arriving in time for the Olympics. This row was postponed indefinitely in May 2012 due to unusually large numbers of icebergs drifting past the coast of Newfoundland, the result of a huge chunk of ice breaking off a glacier in Greenland in 2010. The situation was deemed to represent an unacceptable level of risk to the safety of the rowers.
