A Florida man was arrested after trying to "run to London" across the Atlantic Ocean in a homemade vessel resembling a hamster wheel.
The US Coast Guard intercepted Reza Baluchi about 70 miles (110km) off Tybee Island, Georgia on 26 August.
Officials said the 44-year-old marathon runner refused to leave the vessel for three days.
Mr Baluchi has tried three similar voyages before, all of which ended in Coast Guard intervention.

If I was 40 years younger I could do that.
Let him go.

A Florida man
Quelle surprise.
Well, based on the wiki article, calling him a "Florida man" seems pretty inaccurate.

He's a Florida Man in the same way that I'm a Yankee.

The libertarian in me says if he wants to take extreme risk on his own accord, the state should not stand in the way, as long as he does not expect the state to come to his rescue if his risk taking goes sideways.
