A French woman on Wednesday set off from Senegal to windsurf across the Atlantic Ocean, four years after she was diagnosed with a heart condition and fitted with a pacemaker.
Sarah Hebert, a four-times French windsurfing champion and European champion, began her 4,000 kilometer (2,485-mile) journey from a beach north of the capital Dakar. She is expected to take 25 days to reach the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
