Across the Atlantic in a.....

[Tim R]

We've had solo crossing on small sailing vessels, rowing skiffs, and a large hamster ball (which failed), but now we have one on a paddle board! Three months and 4,500 knots from Morocco to Antigua without even stopping at the Canary Isles. Who says a paddle board is not really a boat???

Well it s not really a paddle board. It s a 20' cabin boat with paddle propulsion. And he was riding the trades so he probably got a nice push from the winds

Still Pretty long trip

At least he wasn't in the middle of the Hudson, East River or NY Harbor during rush hour with the ferries LMHO.

By Jove, 4500 kts is indeed a rather impressive speed on a paddled vessel! I bet he's hiding a flux capacitor.

A truly amazing feat he accomplished, and even more amazing he even thought up that concept..

Wow! A paddle boat that can go 6.8 Mach.....that's impressive!!!
