70-year old man kayak across the Atlantic

https://nyti.ms/2FWJhva


Anyone see this article about the 70 year-old guy who kayaked solo across the Atlantic?  Long read, totally engrossing.  It took 143+ days in what looks like a very small boat with a spray skirt and a paddle.  And it was his third trip.

Really edge-of-life stuff happened, including one incident that spawned this description from the writer, "Doba returned to his cabin somewhat shocked to be alive."

Great read thanks Bchen!

Sounds miserable but amazing at the same time.

Amazing story to only hope to have that much adventure in you at that age. Paddle on.

Great article. I like the end, where he says he has no plans for a 4th kayak trip across the Atlantic, and then adds, “But I do like to sail.”

Thanks for the share. Good read.
