The snapping pipes make noises ten thousand times more quiet than a whisper. 查看更多

  Debra Veal is a very brave(勇敢的) woman. She took part in a race to row(劃船) 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.
