Women Set Rowing Record

The first women's rowing team attempting to break the 43-day speed record across the North Atlantic fell just short of their goal, making landfall in Falmouth 49 days after leaving New York Harbor.

They did, however, become the first all-female crew to make the journey, led by Olympic rowing medalist Guinn Batton. 

 We snapped this shot of the team on board the 26-foot boat 'Liberty' on June 7, just off of Coney Island, with 3,000 miles of ocean still ahead of them.
