Seventy miles off the coast of Georgia?

I just shook my head at the headline and first couple of sentences thinking, "Why doesn't he try crossing the English channel first"?

Asked and answered, I suppose - that would have been a walk in the park; but crossing the pond itself from one continent to the other? Geez!

I suppose that he factored in considerations related to hypothermia, since he engineered provisions for a watermaker, electricity generation, etc., but your question as to navigating a hamster wheel across an ocean is the thing that has me stumped too - was it likely that he'd end up in Iceland or the Canary Islands instead of the UK?

I remember as a kid, I was arrested for something dumb and laying in the bunk of a cell in an LA County Sheriff's station when they carried this guy in, bloody and beaten, who just kept muttering, "They can't take it away!"

It was the weekend that Marineland had closed, a couple of weeks earlier than announced, and they hadn't moved the animals to other facilities like Sea World, etc. This guy had it in his mind that it was now or never for one of his bucket-list items - Swimming with the dolphins.

Well, he did, and notwithstanding a face that resembled hamburger from his treatment by Sheriff's deputies, he was right - that's something that no one would ever be able to take away from him.
