I hope he's got good weather. There's not enough sunscreen to help me out there. I would be crispy.

This would be his second complete transatlantic kayak trip in four years. He paddled the Olo from Africa to Brazil over 99 days in 2010.

My hat is off to anyone who can paddle all winter in the North Atlantic. Awesome retirement adventure.

What does he do at night when he needs to sleep and the water is 5000 feet deep?

Can't just anchor. I guess he drifts and hopes not to drift too far.

That's a big yak.
