Paddle Board the Atlantic?

OK we all look at the world around us and define challenges in our own frame of reference.  That is good but we have to be careful not to limit that challenge to our frame of reference.

The reason I say this is because last week I read a story of something I thought would be impossible.  Nicolas Jarossay is planning on Paddle Boarding across the Atlantic.  He is planning on leaving  Cape Verde in early January and will be aiming to make landfall in the Caribbean.  He expects this to take approximately 3 months.  He has built a specially designed paddle board when he has a cone on the front where he will sleep.  He is doing this crossing unsupported and has to bring all his supplies with him.

Now to me, this raises the bar when I am looking at a challenge.  We are only limited by our thoughts and the constraints that we impose upon ourselves. 

I wish Nicolas a safe journey.
