You may recall the story of Frenchman Jean-Jacques Savin. AFP first featured him in November as he prepared to cross the Atlantic in a custom-made barrel carried only by the currents.
Savin arrived early May 9 on the Caribbean island of Martinique declaring: "It was an exhilarating voyage but also quite risky."
He departed on December 26, 2018 and survived 127 days mainly on his stores of freeze-dried food and the occasional freshly caught fish, as well as supplies provided by the crews of ships he came across during the voyage.
