Quebec rower Mylene Paquette celebrates as she arrives in Lorient, France, after a solo journey across the Atlantic Ocean, on November 12, 2013. Paquette is the first North American woman to row solo across the North Atlantic. She left Halifax just over four months ago in a specially designed 7.3-meter boat propelled only by Paquette and the currents. (Photo by David Vincent/Associated Press)
