ATLANTIC rower Jasmine Harrison who is battling to win a place in the history books is in purgatory at the current time but determined to finish the race according to her worried but totally supportive mum. Jasmine, 21, is aiming to be the youngest solo female to row 3,000 miles across the ocean, but howling winds and terrible conditions have meant she s been forced to retreat to her cabin for five days awaiting better weather. In the meantime she s got a shark for company. Mum Susan Harrison has backed her daughter all the way, working as her support team back home in Thirsk and dishing out tough love to keep Jasmine upbeat. She is currently on para anchor, being blown around the Atlantic with waves crashing against the boat, she s done nearly 1,000 nautical miles and has a further 2,000 to go.
