Adventurer Benoit Lecomte plans to follow ocean currents from Tokyo to San Francisco in the spring of 2017.
Benoit Lecomte’s plan is so insane that I’m breaking my own rule. Normally I’d wait to see if he actually does swim across the Pacific Ocean next year and then tell you what happened.
The thing is, this guy won’t give up. Lecomte’s 2017 expedition, called The Longest Swim, will be his fourth attempt at a crossing. Originally from France, 49-year-old Lecomte has spent the past 20 years in Austin, Tex. He considers himself a swimmer, adventurer, and advocate.
