ORI Ecostewards' cheers for Roz Savage

“Thank you for proving to other people across the world - especially women - that we can do so much if we focus strongly enough. We all need to be this focused in solving the bigger problems we now face.”- Arran of Portland, OR

“You make me proud to be called "woman"!  Congratulations on your achievement, and God Bless your bravery! Most important, however; thank you for bringing recognition to our ocean's importance not just for the animals, but for the whole of man-kind.” - Angela of Kernersville, NC  

“You are an inspiration in so many ways. You make me look at my own life and question what I can do to be the change I wish to see in the world. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful message to the people of world. You are a symbol of love, hope, strength, perseverance and faith. Thank you for showing up in my email and giving me a hero I can believe in. Bless your trip and Namaste, my fellow citizen of the world.” - Tiffany of Nashville, TN

“What an amazing feat you have accomplished.  I, along with many people around the world, congratulate you for the work you've done to help the oceans.” - Gregory of Moline, IL  

“This is fabulous! As the mother of a rower who was on the Harvard men's heavy weight eight, I know something of the committment involved.  And, as a life-long environmentalist, I am thrilled that you bring attention to our precious oceans. You provide an extraordinary example and inspiration.” - Marcy of Cambridge, MA

“Roz, You are a very, very inspiring woman! I followed your progress and kept a vigil for your safety among the waves and wild. Your adventures show young females everywhere that few things are impossible once you step beyond what you know is possible. I mentor at-risk youth, and you can trust that your ears will be burning in the spring as I mention your valiant effort to cross the Pacific, powered only by your arms and the wind. I would really be interested in an outline, or video, of one day at sea and more about your boat and the conditions you lived in for so long. I hope to be in MA to see you the day prior to my birthday. Finest Regards, Kevin” Kevin of Lake In The Hills, IL

“Hello Roz, You are a hero to me, to undertake this trip is both scary and exciting to me. May you stay safe. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

“As you row, you power not only your craft, but the community of Gaia as well!  We are grateful for your bravery and are awed by your goals. God Speed Roz! You can do it! We will do it!” - Clara of Libertyville, IL 

“All of us who love the earth are with you, Roz!  I am an ocean sailor who remembers flying fish on the deck, salty showers and contrary winds.  Use it all to see the wonders of the world, and stay strong for us all. You are a remarkable role model for young girls. You go girl! - Diana of Byfield, MA
