One Man's Successful Attempt to Cross the Atlantic

Ben Lecomte set out to swim across the Atlantic Ocean to raise funds for cancer research. It took him approximately 80 days and 3,736 nautical miles. This is his site, with his journal, his thoughts and his struggles to achieve this amazing feat. He outlines his training, equipment, and even his diet. This is a good source for long-distance swimmers or anyone who wants to read how a person can actually train and endure a challenge of this magnitude. Take a moment and read all the messages of support for Ben. Truly an interesting and inspirational site.
