Julie Wafaei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julie Wafaei (born 1974) is a Canadian rower and cyclist.

Wafaei is the first woman to row the Atlantic Ocean from mainland to mainland. Her Atlantic row was part of an expedition with her fiance Colin Angus to circumnavigate the Northern hemisphere entirely by human power. She accompanied Angus for half of the expedition, in a bid to promote self propulsion as a fun and healthy means of travel.

For her achievement Wafaei and Angus jointly received the Adventurer of the Year Award from National Geographic Adventure. Julie is currently co-producing a documentary and writing a book, Rowboat in a Hurricane, detailing her exploits.
