Nobody Could Talk Him Out of This

Video Description

⛰️ If you liked this video, check out this wild story about an equally adventurous fella who thought SWIMMING THE ENTIRE AMAZON RIVER would be a great idea: https://youtu.be/QpuEwovxI1I At 71, Jean-Jacques Savin climbed into a homemade barrel and drifted across the Atlantic. No motor, no sail, just ocean currents and a stubborn dream. And unbelievably , he made it. So a few years later, he tried something even riskier: rowing solo across the Atlantic. This is the bizarre, brilliant, and tragic story of a man who refused to grow old quietly.
