BBC News - All-female crew first women to row round Britain
"During their journey, the women have been swamped by huge waves, survived storms, almost sunk and navigated some of the most treacherous tides on the planet.
At one point, Ms Madsen broke her finger when she was setting off a flare to warn off a ship that was on a collision course with Go Commando.
She carried on rowing by strapping her hand to her oar."
