British ocean rower Roz Savage has made it across 4,000 miles of pirate-infested waters to the island of Mauritius, claiming victory in her effort to row the Indian Ocean solo. But some in the ocean rowing community think that Savage needs to row the last bit of ocean (more than 1,200 miles, to be exact) between Mauritius and Africa first. Savage says she’s the first woman to row solo across the “Big Three”—the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. There’s no denying that she’s accomplished an enormous feat. Whether 1,200 miles will keep Savage out of the record books is yet to be determined.
