Mylène Paquette decided to change her life completely following a deeply moving conversation with a gravely ill child. She took up ocean rowing to explore her passion for the seas and fulfill her desire to become a mariner. Ms. Paquette became the first person from the Americas to successfully undertake a solo crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat: a human adventure that goes beyond a simple feat of athleticism.
