Err....not quite sure what to make of this.

Me neither. Wish him the best of luck, I suppose?:-?

Won't be seeing that guy again. :har:

Peddle accross the atlantic :hmmm: :yeah:

Only if a boat follows him so he can take some breaks and ... other things. Even then after about 30 days or so, and hes barely covered 1/8 of the distance reality might set in.

Look how long it takes in a sub doing 12 knots :doh: and thats without stopping.

Sure hope he's got a radio in there to call the coast guard. :o

I recall a similar attempt a few years ago, where two guys had set their minds on pedalling around the world. They had built a small boat driven by a propeller via a propshaft from a central crank case with pedals attached. Imagine a large canoe with a waterproof cover. They successfully managed a few legs of their trip, despite a few mechanical issues, but they didn't get along well, so they split up and one of them kept going by himself.

Not exactly a sub, but at least similar in terms of propulsion...
