“At this time ocean was stronger,”: famous traveler died, trying to cross Atlantic for second time

French traveler Jean-Jacques Saven died during a single swimming on a rowing boat through the Atlantic Ocean. The inverted boat Savna was found near the Azores, approximately one and a half thousand kilometers from Portugal, where January 1, a 75-year-old traveler began his swimming, MEDUZA reports.

Before that, Saven has released two emergency constructions that have submitted disaster signals. “Unfortunately, this time the ocean turned out to be stronger than our friend, who loved swimming and the sea,” the Savena page stated on the Facebook page.

Jean-Jacques Saven became famous in 2019, when alone crossed the Atlantic in an unmanaged capsule resembling a barrel. It has 122 days left for it.

A new journey, he expected to complete for three months and called his project “way to laugh at old age.”
