Peddle accross the atlantic
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 and thats without stopping. |

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.
