“If 67 years young can do it, you can do it, too.” — Aleksander Doba
At 67 years old, a Polish kayaker completes the longest open-water kayaking expedition across the Atlantic in history. At 67 years old, the Polish adventurer made the longest open-water kayak crossing of the Atlantic in history. Using just his arm strength and considerable willpower, Doba paddled 7,700 miles in his 23-foot kayak, OLO, departing in October 2013 from Lisbon and arriving six months later in Florida. The retired mechanical engineer, now 68, is the only person to kayak across the Atlantic, continent-to-continent, alone, unassisted, and under his own power.
